Are two 4gb pcs equivalent to a 8gb one?

Apparently even Photoshop can run at its full potential on just 1.7gb so is this 8gb/16gb thing just bragging rights?

It's customary for me to have 8-10 applications open at all times. The extra processing power has an immediately obvious effect on performance.

Getting rid of of the shit that is hogging your RAM is a better plan than just buying more. I have had no problems since I moved over to arch and all open source applications. I can have 4 workspaces plastered with stuff and not a glitch.
Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.

Code: Select all

// Replaces with spaces the braces in cases where braces in places cause stasis 
   $str = str_replace(array("\{","\}")," ",$str);
