I am considering buying a new computer and was wondering if there was a way to figure out how much Ram I am using. I am not a programmer by profession and have self taught myself a fair amount, but sometimes my assumptions about computers etc are just plain wrong, so let me no if my thinking is correct.
I noticed when I run an optimization, the first pass will take about 3 minutes and then each subsequent step takes about 1 minute. I noticed a while ago that when I installed more ram, the first step time did not change as much as the additional step times. I am assuming that the amount of ram is part of this. If the amount of ram is more than the amount of data loaded in to be tested, then I will minimize the time for each additional step after the first pass. If I am correct of this, is there a way to find out how much ram that threshold is on my system? Thanks, John
