I can well believe the 'weirdness'.
My old Compaq tower has 3 GB of RAM. Your average Chromium 'clone', with several non-video tabs open, will chew its way through that like there's no tomorrow.
Although I've been a fan of them for years, it's why I now prefer Palemoon for general browsing. Much lighter, and consumes far less in the way of resources.
[Mind you, if QtWeb was still under development, I know what I'd be using...]
----------------
@ musher0:-
That 12 GB ain't for his Puppy. It's to run the browser.....though why anybody in their right mind would want that many video tabs open at the same time is beyond me.

My comment was not directed to yours.
Plz, don't consider my comment related with yours... It's my way to express.musher0 wrote:I never said : you lied.
I said : that is weird for a PuppyLinux.
Run htop : it could probably provide a clue about this weirdness, it has a RAM column.
Have a nice day u all.

What's a memory "slab"? One finds slabs in cemeteries...
"Here lies 1 Gb of RAM from musher0's PC... R.I.P."
It's from a dev at Facebook, so anyone's private informations
will be compromised right from the start!!!

Have you diagnosed your RAM with htop yet?

I don't know either, it's too much technical for me, but I think that if this new controller is going to finally reach the kernel, it will have to pass through the master chief (Linus T.) and the whole kernel team.
Let's see what happens.

Thanks for the additional comment, Galbi.

@pp4mnklinux:
A late thought -- I should have thought of suggesting this to you at the very beginning...
Did you run a RAM test on your original RAM?
There is one available from the BIOS
and
some distros offer it at boot
and
there are utilities such as memtester and memtest86 that can do this.
(Enter "memtester" in the Duck's search line and you'll find them.)
Those utilities take a good while to complete, but they diagnose if part of your RAM is
broken and where (the RAM addresses).
Maybe could have saved you a few dollars. I say this because if a RAM stick is bad,
the system skips it and goes to the next good one (I'm not absolutely sure, but I think
that is how it works on recent computers.)
IHTH.

Old version as FatDog64-721 are be a Last good who doesn't lags while of RAMdisk.
When I knowed only on FatDog anyway... - Newest versions does lags of 1,11GB use per 1,89GB (x5-Z8350|HDMI Stick) so: Old versions > New versions
Now I have a Optiplex 3020 SFF (Last good Model of a Low Price) and I do be Frugal Install to FatDog64 on USB 3.1 stick (32GB)...
