I understand the reasoning, why computers nowadays take forever for the first boot due to ram optimization, but a previous computer that I built, I didn’t know that and for hours I thought the motherboard was broken. Now it always makes me nervous on if there’s an issue or it’s just taking forever to do the optimization.

Yeah RAM training is just unnerving. For like 6 minutes you have a Schroedinger's box that is either fucked or about to POST

Ever tried doing it with 256 gigs of ram? I think it took 15 minutes.

Man they really need to make a "I'm working fine pls just wait a bit" blinking light a part of the standard

I saw a laptop that had a screen saying "memory training in progress"

Hang on, I've never heard of this. I haven't built a huge amount of machines but never knew about RAM training!

I even did a Compaq course back in the day ~25 years ago. Is this a recent thing, by any chance (DDR era)?

Neat, I'll look forward to it!

Wait what? How does that work? Is there some data storage in the motherboard that's remembering the best way to organize your ram?

take forever for the first boot due to ram optimization

That's not just a downloading RAM joke?
