Huge Man and the Mean Girls
Love this movie.
Anyway, it’s a disk swap thing indeed.
Which is why I’m getting a 16GB M1.
Don’t want my SSD to die on me in a week.
So this means that, if you’re using sample libraries of some largesse, 16GB of RAM is in order. If you’re getting an Apple M1 and have to choose between upgrading to 16GB of RAM or to 512GB of SSD, better the former that the latter, as that will limit virtual memory disk swapping and you can always add an external NVMe SSD.
