said by Stefania:I don't have these issues because I outfit my computers with an appropriate amount of system memory. Currently the one I am using has 32GB. My machines regularly last 5 or more years.
I change the batteries in my smoke detectors every time I buy a new computer. I haven't had one catch on fire yet in 15 years!!!
There is more than RAM quantity to future-proof. 4 GB of RAM is a good amount if that is what you have. If you are building/buying today, 8 GB is a better target, but not required. Other factors are much, much more important.
