  • I set up a drop and go order for my 256gb on Friday evening and the cash price was at £243, the next morning it dropped right the way down to £150!

    It was incredibly lucky that I decided to make that online order for a drop off, took it in to the shop on Saturday and they honoured it just fine. Whilst I was in there past lunchtime they said they’d already had 5 decks sold to them that morning!



  • Through a ton of testing I have never encountered a single benefit, logic would imply that it should have no benefit due to the way it inflates the swap file whilst simultaneously reducing the system’s use of it.

    Theoretically the only potential benefit might have been hugepages being enabled, but this is now enabled by default in SteamOS 3.5 which is why a lot of people are now reporting no/reduced benefit.
