RAM eating we browser? What, you playing games on 256 MB?
Also, you can 100% customise Steam. There are various user created skins out there you can just plop onto Steam.
With some tool that uses a hack. Just plopping doesn't work anymore.
What, you only play games on a powerful rig? Waay more Casual games in the store than Flagships. And if your notebook has 4 GB and Steam uses 1 GB and you want to lookup a tutorial online it gets close.
Let's not normalize wasting resources just because some AAA studios are used to it.
I'm not normalising wasted resources, but 8 GB of RAM was a basic minimum standard to do anything on a computer 10 years ago... Perhaps even more.
Unless you're running a very, and I mean a VERY, cut-down operation system for none-intensive tasks, there is no way 4 GB of RAM is useful for anything.
Are you still on a dual core CPU too?
That's called "privilege".
By that fucking logic anything more thqn 512kb and dos is privilege.
Get the actual fuck out of here with that bullshit.
Even the cheapest shit boxes from dell have had more then 4 gigs of ram for over a decade.
When a 300 dollar dell ewaste netbook has it, it's the bare minimum.
No, that's called basic. We're not talking about a batmobile shaped RGB "gamer" mouse. We're talking about the default requirement for a functional system.
You're talking Windows?
