    Just like the human eye can only register 60fps and no more, your computer can only register 4gb of RAM and no more. Anything more than that is just marketing.

    Fucking /S since you clowns can’t tell.

      Human eye can’t see more than 1080p anyway, so what’s the point

      This is only true if you’re still using a 32 bit cpu, which almost nobody is. 64 bit cpus can use up to 16 million TB of RAM.

        Bank switching to “fake” the ability to access more address space was a big thing in the 80s…so it’s technically possible to access addresses that are wider than the address bus by dividing it up into portions that it can see.

      That’s not sarcasm, it’s misinformation. Not surprising that people downvoted you even though it was just a joke.

        I don’t think that somebody actually read that computers can’t register more then 4GiB of RAM and then thought

        That’s totally true, because u/teft said it is

        That’s what makes it a joke. Does anyone here unironcally think the human eye can only see 60 fps or that more than 4 gigs of ram is just marketing?
