Does a 256GB Desktop Mean 256GB of RAM?
No. In a desktop computer, 256GB refers to storage capacity, not memory. The 256GB figure in Thinvent product names is the capacity of the solid-state drive (SSD) that stores the operating system, applications and files. System memory (RAM) is a separate component. Thinvent systems on this page carry 8GB, 16GB or 32GB of RAM. None of them includes 256GB of RAM.
