In the 'old' days, I worked for the Atomic Energy Commission designing, building and maintaining computer controlled experiments using radiation from and located on the face of the reactor.....our SDS "mainframe" <G> ran ALL experiments (including some x-ray diffraction projects in remote locations) in real-time......that computer had 16K core memory.......and people came from all over the world to see what we were doing....now a watch has more memory.....
Time flies, and the only constant is change......

Anyone remember the old days when we thought 64k RAM and a 5MB hard drive was a fast machine?

Yes - I am not saying my entire farm has that much ram. You can get away with much, much less, but I have servers that go that high.

- This is kinda new to me - Just so I am clear - unganged systems would perform better if I have say - a caching system with limited threads each pined to a specific core (we do this for processor cache anyway) while ganged systems would perform better it I was spinning up a new thread for each request and had a large amount (say 768GB) of ram running something like PostgreSQL where threads are being fired up and down many thousands of times a second but the data they seek is mostly in main memory.

- Perhaps the bios has allocated a chunk of it to onboard video?
