![]() Now, different programs may respond more severely to resource constraints, so I don’t think 8GB would have been a wise choice for someone with needs as heavy as mine. The amount of swap I was generating was the only thing that unnerved me, but otherwise there was barely a blip. ![]() And this was before everything was optimized for M1’s! I had Parallels, Win 11, Capture One Pro, a VM Webserver, PHPStorm, XDebug, MS Office, and tons of accessory programs running side by side. My memory pressure was lava red the whole time, but I barely noticed anything wrong. ![]() Low latency interfaces are a game changer.Ī few years ago, I spent several weeks downsizing my 32GB workflow to run off of an 8GB M1 Pro as an experiment. Hardware instead of software based protocols are a game changer. In the days when machines had endless thirst for RAM we also had slower RAM, much slower storage, slower buses, high latency interfaces. I believed that too once, but RAM dependency isn’t a linear line that exists in a vacuum based on a slope plotted in the late 90’s where most of our RAM anxiety is from.
