Burstable RAM

[wilber]

When does burstable RAM come into play and how long does it last?

[geek]

Its supposed to be available when you need it and lasts for as long as the server gives a cut off, usually 90 seconds.

I've always wondered about that because if everyone is sharing the same RAM then you won't get your quota.

[wilber]

Hopefully the server has enough RAM to go around then. how much RAM does a typical server have anyway?

[clipshare]

I think you can only be assured of the RAM you have when you are on a dedicated server.

[geek]

There is chained RAM too, that isn't the name but I can't remember what it is called at the moment. it is where you have a set amount of RAM no matter what.

I have a set amount of RAM on my system, there is no burstable amount and I like it that way because I know what i have at all times.

[wilber]

When you use that system for RAM it means it is a closed node system which is also better for your security.

So then it is best to not use a server with burstable RAM, is that what you are saying?

[geek]

Wilber isn't saying that but he is making reference to the possibility of a more secure system in theory anyways.
