nothing haha just left the bad 16gb stick in there because it mostly works. It’s hard to diagnose it as I use it for work 24/7… mayb I need another Thinkpad for when I diagnose the other

good to know

haha used is an understatement. was in a gaming laptop running frigate at like 90 degrees for 3 years. the other stick is a crucial 2666 16gb I have from same laptop. I’m too lazy to run memtest when I know there’s an issue. going to try slower speed and do the testing

yea it’s a 16gb but yea I agree. although it was in my server for 3 years(laptop that cooked itself)! Going to run memtest here in a minute and will post my findings on all sticks I have around once I’m done with work

ubuntu fresh 24.04 install. also it’s still usable as is but crashes before I hit 24gb usage

will try with a different brand and speed and runs tests thank you!

haha not only do I use IDEs, docker, etc I also use the computer for computer things at the same time! Like music, browser tabs, and thunderbird eat 3gb ish and gnome alone is about 3

neither had I and I got such a good deal I did not dig into that much before I purchased. I have been through the ringer with laptops the last couple years and dumped so much into new ones that break and the parts are too expensive that I gave up and just go based upon price not specs. would love to have a dedicated desktop but I have to work on the go all the time

I will try this as well, I have 2 16gb sticks kicking around the 3200 team group and a crucial 2666.

yes 8gb soldered. with a slot for a stick alongside the soldered shit. look I don’t come up with this stuff but I got the laptop for 200 bucks on Facebook and it plays well with ubuntu

gotcha it is a team group one(I was skeptical too) I have another 16gb that is crucial I think but it’s 2666 speed. Will try memtest tonight and report back.

This is not really a technology question. I would pull a favor and see who can check in on your car/live in/take it in. I have a ton of animals and it’s hard to get people that don’t bail out so I resort to questionable people that are pretty much homeless and we’re 100bucks goes a long ways. Or pull a favor from family
