Bought a bare bones PC with 2 DDR4 slots. Would like to populate it with 16K of ram. Would I need 2 8K chips or would 1 16K chip suffice? Perhaps in the future I would place another 16K chip in the other slot. PC is Inspire by Azulletech. Bought another bare bones PC (Brix), put in memory...

Hi, I am running a C++ application on Redhat linux, built using gcc. The program works in a step by step manner, and each steps uses new and delete to allocate and remove memory for huge data structures. I've made sure that we are freeing all the memory allocated, but when I check for the...

It has been a while since I posted my own content. My apologies, finishing my degree, working full time, and doing my best to manage a robotics club took all of my time. <begin rant> Okay, so my memory did not actually disappear. Nor are any of my systems damaged. I thought a discussion...
