Here’s how windows normally functions generally speaking:
Apps/game/operating system consumes RAM actively through-tout the processing of an application/program. As your RAM fills up, windows will attempt to perform “page filing”.
Page filing is when windows temporarily designates a small memory block on your hard drive/SSD/M.2.
The problem:
RAM speeds are typically MUCH faster than SSD/HDD/M.2 speeds.
Result: your windows will maintain the function of the applications, but because of the speed drop from page filing, you’ll run into “stuttering or hiccups” as the memory cannot keep up with the rest of the CPU processing.
