I was looking at the 1tb 32gb ram Legion Go 2. $1300. I couldn’t believe the price. Does the 700$ steamdeck have 32gb ram?
Why would you need 32gb of ram tho
zramctl -f -s 16Gfor shits and giggles?@optissima@lemmy.ml @drmoose@lemmy.world zram is even better than dowloading more ram 🫢
Yeah you can then set it to your swap file for more drive space!
No, it has 16.
Worth noting that you can mod 32 GBs of RAM, and a few people did the mod, finding literally zero performance benefit.
Yeah, I know. If I remember correctly, the Steam Deck uses a pretty standard RAM type.
But the system is well designed and doesn't have any real bottlenecks that aren't game-specific. So the Deck can't even run anything that would benefit from 32 GB of system RAM.
Got my legion go 1 used for like (converted) 400 usd, consider your usecase and look if one of the older ones still work for you. Because 400 for that thing was a steal.
