What's your favorite memory?
I’m expecting something much better than my current setup. I had a stick of Crucial 8Gb DDR4-2666 memory that I installed to provide extra flexibility, but it’s not perfect because the original 8Gb is likely made by Samsung. I prefer not to combine modules. wayne@Wayne-IdeaCentre:~/Desktop$ sudo dmidecode --type 17 [sudo] password for wayne: # dmidecode 3.3 Retrieving SMBIOS data from sysfs. SMBIOS 3.2.0 is available.

09-09-2023, 11:51 PM #13I experienced X-Plane performance issues and crashes a few times. It might have been due to low memory. I should have reviewed the log file but missed it! Before launching, I need to close all open applications. Their site suggests 16 to 24GB RAM, so 32GB would be safe for this system. This should let it run longer than me!
When you ordered a faster memory, you might need more than just enabling the XMP profile—you may have to adjust the frequency and timings yourself. (The settings are printed directly on the module.) It could function if your board supports the maximum speed listed in the XMP profile. However, it’s possible you’ll need to reduce the speed to 2933 or 2666 MHz for it to work properly.
Typically, applications don’t crash these days mainly due to insufficient memory. Windows employs virtual memory to handle this. It makes use of the hard drive or SSD to free space, though because an SSD is about 100 times slower than RAM, it can still lead to lag.
