So I got myself this fancy new Chromebook Plus with 8 GB RAM and a high powered Core i3 processor, and I'm still running out of RAM frequently, sometimes with only one or two tabs open! I have the Memory Monitor extension installed, and the numbers read just like on my former Chromebook that only had 4 GB RAM, usually between 0 and 1.5 GB RAM. This confused me, so I Googled it, and apparently Chromebooks will try to use all the RAM available, no matter how much RAM you have. Well, phooey on that. LOL

Well, at least now with the Core i3 processor, YouTube now loads instantaneously for me, which is much faster than my old Chromebook, which had some crappy MediaTek processor. So I am grateful for that.
