Hi, I'm the author. I've read about how they constructed the RAM and how it's different from the usual architecture. That and YouTube reviews convinced me that if I should save money on something, I could risk it with RAM. I observed how my potato Macbook works with its 8 GB RAM and I could see that most of the capacity is idle, while the computer is slow. That made me think that RAM just isn't the bottle neck I'm fighting. My budget is limited and based on what I knew I decided the RAM is less of a risk than a small disk.

In the end, honestly, I don't care that much if it's the processor, RAM, or a pixie dust. The machine's snappy whatever I do on it and that's all that matters. I'm happy with my choice so far, but only time will tell, of course. If you do RAM-intensive stuff on your computer and have the money, buy RAM, good for you.
