I'm using an S5520HC with 2x X5650 at 2.67Ghz, 16GB of ECC RAM (4gbx4) and a GTX 1060 3GB
The system runs nice but feels pretty choked at times like startup takes 2-3 minutes, choppy performances on heavy tasks like graphic designing softwares, heavy games,... rendering is fine tho.
One thing I've noticed is my approx. total memory is 11144 mb which means ~8GB of system RAM have been shared with my GPU.
So is that a bad thing? And what can i do to increase the performance of this system ?
