What You Should Know about the War Machine M1 Elite

Large Amount of RAM Produces Blazing Performance

Simply put, this computer is likely to offer blazing performance. The large amount of RAM it ships with is more than enough to handle most memory-hungry applications and large files, and as a result the PC won't constantly swap memory to its hard drive.

The more installed memory your PC has, the more applications you can run smoothly at once, and the better the system will perform. Upgrading memory in a desktop after you purchase the PC is simple, but usually it's worthwhile to buy the amount of memory you want preinstalled with the system.

To use more than 4GB of memory on your PC, you need either Windows XP 64-Bit Edition (limited to 128GB) or a 64-bit version of Windows Vista (which can handle 128GB and beyond).
