If a game needs x ram and a PC only has x ram, what happens when you try to play it?
In: Technology
Assuming the application doesn’t have a hard coded RAM check that prevents it from launching…
Your PC will begin a process called swapping where unneeded blocks of memory will be copied to your hard drive for temporary storage (pagefile)
This process is however extraordinarily slow compared to the speed that RAM operates at so the game will run unbearable slow if at all.
