Doubling the RAM, increases the energy consumption of the equipment, but it obviously doesn't double the energy consumption of the equipment.


Sure. I'm not in position to say whether the claim that the RAM increase would require more than 26W. I'm just arguing that the previous comment was missing the point of what the article was claiming.


I'm not missing the point. The author is purely speculating and has no data to backup his claims.

Also RAM does not use much power. See here - http://www.buildcomputers.net/power-consumption-of-pc-compon... This is very old data. Newer RAM will use even less
