RAM really only makes a difference in gaming if you're on integrated graphics (which share the RAM along with other system resources). If you have a dedicated GFX card, your game will be using the dedicated RAM on those.
A lot of very low end tablets that run on 1 or 2 GB of RAM will be the ones benefiting from this.
It might push some benchmark scores up higher for the enthusiasts that like number competitions but realistically this was not made with gaming in mind.

I think you misunderstood me. I wasn't really talking about gaming RAM (I understand the uses of GDDR5, DDR3/4, and the differences thereof). I just used the term gamers, since that is what we are here, and many of us gamers have a large excess of system RAM.
The point I was trying to get across...
In the video he talked about a new feature of memory compression which Windows would use "as needed" and would speed up your OS.
Many PC users (especially all of us who build) have more system RAM than they need, or in actuality, more than the OS can make use of. So if we are sitting on 8,16, 32 GB or more of system RAM, I am was just wondering if the new feature would pretty much have zero impact(my aforementioned moot point). Kind of like in the days of old when Ready Boost was going to dramatically boost your system performance.
[EDIT]
Think you edited while I was typing.
So the new feature will pretty much be helpful for the low-end market of PC/Tablet's.

The Insider Preview marches on with new stuff. If you're not feeling adventurous, you can experience it in LP format

I just read an interesting article about the persistence of the Insider Program. I am sure you already know, but for those who may be interested, click away.

There's a lot of extremely cool gadgets (including the first Microsoft made laptop).

That new Laptop is very slick looking. I would be very interested to try one out.
