Re: Only 4GB of RAM ?
martinusher - thanks, that sheds some light. I still come across laptops, even new ones in store, that don't seem any faster than the Gateway 2000 I had 20 years ago! Well, maybe a bit faster, but not the 20x you'd expect from the raw technical specs. Sad, really.
I've also come across "cloud" services that do a huge amount of work in browser scripts until they grind to a halt... and yes a higher-spec PC worked around the problem... sigh.
