| From: mwilson--- via talk <talk@gtalug.org> | I started with a 4GByte kit from ABRA in Montreal. It did adequately | replacing my old 1-core I386 desktop, mostly running Firefox and Gnu Image | Manipulation Program. GIMP seemed to encounter strange crashes with many | images open, so I lately upgraded to an 8GByte kit from CanaKit in BC, as | soon as they announced the 8GB. It is also working well, with occasional | GIMP crashes. I don't have anything like benchmark results to tell you.
Last I checked, ordinary Raspbian was 32-bit only. If Gimp's memory use is within a single processs, it is limited to about 2 or 3G (I don't remember which) of your 8G. Switching to a 64-bit OS would let Gimp use most of your 8G. As for crashing: do you know what kind of crash is happening? Is it worth reporting? --- Post to this mailing list talk@gtalug.org Unsubscribe from this mailing list https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
