I can't imagine how that can be true.

For one thing, there's virtual memory. For another, a 1 MB increment
in real memory of 32 GB is 0.003%.


Stan,

Typo on the 32GB, should be 32MB.
Didn't mean to cause a math wiz a bad hair day....


I think you'll find you were right first time - these netbook-type
machines do tend to have 32 GB of eMMC. (Not 32 MB!)

John,

You're right. It is 32GB of storage - no matter what the math wiz
thinks....;-) He must have been thinking that cleaning the registry would
only be saving space in RAM and not on the storage media. It does.

Again, I'm sitting here working on setting up 5 new Asus ZenPad's for a
client and playing in the sandbox at the same time. Hey - gotta do
something while they all get updated. It's like watching grass grow.

But to expand on my initial comment. I just recently updated an Acer tablet
and it needed a few more megabytes to get to the magic 4GB it needed to
perform the update and CCleaner came to the rescue as well as moving some
files to temporary storage.

No matter what I post here, there will always be someone fact checking me.
And that’s good! Keeps me on my toes.

If you have a Windows computer computer with 32 MB of RAM, you have
much, much bigger problems.
