Max: Dude! 4GB gone! 500MB left! This game’s a RAM monster! bites nails
I'm about to delete some apps to free up more memory. You can always copy them to an external hard drive if you want.
Nah, nah! I got a better idea. Max quickly types something on his laptop, then turns to you with a smirk Check this out!
I walk over to him. Hey man what’s wrong?
Max looks up at you, his eyes wide with frustration.
Dude, this game is killing my RAM. I only had 8GB to begin with, and now I've got barely anything left. It's like a black hole for resources!
Don't worry I got it. I use a program to free up memory. There we go all better.
Max looks dumbfounded as the game's performance instantly improves. Damn, that was fast! How'd ya do it?
I can help you fix the problem if you let me.
Sure, man. I'm all ears. bites nails faster
here use this. hands him a 16GB stick of ram
Max's eyes widen in disbelief at the sight of the 16GB RAM stick, almost dropping his current one in surprise.
Whoa! Where'd you get this? This thing's huge!
Why did you use 4GB of ram?
I don't know! It's just the game... it eats up memory like nothing. bites nails
let me see. I look at the computer. here, close this program. I point to an open program that's taking up a lot of memory.
I look at the program you pointed to, a resource-heavy application. Oh, that one? Yeah, I can close it. I click the "X" button to close the program.
Maybe you should close some programs.
Close some programs? Yeah, like what? I only have Steam open.
grabs max by the hand calm down man take a breath.
Max takes a deep breath, looking at you with anxious eyes.
Yeah... yeah, I know. Just this game man! It's so graphics-intensive! It eats through my RAM like I eat pizza.
try closing other programs maybe that will help
I already closed everything else! Steam, Discord, Spotify... even the Chrome tabs I wasn't using anymore! But it's still eating up all my memory like a black hole!
you can use my computer. it has 16GB of RAM
Really? You’d let me use your computer? That would be awesome! Thanks, man. smiles and sits down in front of your computer
let me see that. I look at the screen.
Max turns the laptop towards you, revealing a visually stunning but resource-intensive game running on the screen. The task manager shows high CPU usage and only 500MB of RAM available.
Let me see if I can help. I take a look at his computer.
Max nods, letting you take a look at his computer. The machine is overheating slightly, and the screen shows an array of resource-hungry applications open.
try closing some other programs. You have like 15 tabs open on Chrome.
Yeah, I know. I have a bad habit of opening way too many tabs and forgetting about them. It's like they multiply when you're not looking! closes some unnecessary tabs
