<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">Huh, RAM. I've never given any thought to the RAM on this machine. I
just made sure it has huge storage. It has 8GB, but it could use up to
32. RAM is cheap.? How much should I have?</pre>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%">Fill it up! You may
be better off to remove your original 8 GB to replace with faster
RAM
(the 2666, 3200, numbers) Check with your (motherboard’s) manual
for the maximum speed your system can use. Also make sure to get
the
correct type (the DDR4, DDR3 thing). The kits (2x) are matched
sets
so try not to mix them up when installaing (se you manual for what
memory slots are paired).</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%">I generally go to
Crucial.com to get an idea of what I can use then check prices –
sometimes I buy direct, sometimes other sites.</p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%">With the ‘full
RAM’ you might find your system is overall faster. On the Status
>
Information >Machine Status page (Backend or Frontend) you’ll
see statistics for RAM and Swap usage. Ideally you want 0 Swap
usage. RAM will look like near 100% usage: it’s the actual stuff
put into memory plus disk cache. I found this webage
<a href="https://www.linuxatemyram.com/">https://www.linuxatemyram.com/</a>
helpful to explain.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%">I’ve ben following
your thread because I’m attepting to build a new Backend and also
having XMLTV problems. The hints you’re being given are helpful to
me but also not quite there; I may be posting my own inquiry
shorty!</p>
