>Today I have upgraded the PC I'm using to run a Steem witness node on at home with a new Xeon CPU, a 10-core, 20 threads one... not that the system needed the upgrade, it was running just fine with the old Core i7 CPU. What I'm seeing as a required upgrade however in the very near future is the RAM as it is currently only 16GB (4x 4GB DDR4) and it will need to go up to 32GB to have enough space for the growing requirements of the Steem blockchain... especially when you also use the node for development. You can trade extra cpu power for less RAM, by using zram. Zram compresses and decompresses RAM in real time at the expense of CPU, but you can then fit more things into the RAM section. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zram

Thanks, I'll look into that, but with the current low prices of RAM there is really no point in not adding some more physical memory...
