I have a small collection of GIFs I try to run on an older board and wonder why they don't run smoothly after a couple of plays. You would think 4gb of ram would be adequate, but maybe the person that made the gif has 16gb of ram and assumes that everyone else does. Not the case. If new computers were free I'd get one. What do you folks think about this problem ? Thanks :culpability:
