The thyristor auto mode (which controls flash output using a light sensor in the flashgun itself) is a lot faster than the normal TTL mode (where the flash fires a pre-flash prior to exposure and the camera's metering system uses it to determine the correct flash output when it actually takes the picture).

@JourneymanGeek hmmm. I don't feel very confident about that, man. Laptop I bought in '15 had 8 gigs. Now I'm buying one four years later and they still only have 8 gigs.
I know Bob explained that most users don't need much ram
I'm starting to get a collection of computers at home and to support them I have my "server" linux box running a RAID array.
Its currently mdadm RAID-1, going to RAID-5 once I have more drives (and then RAID-6 I'm hoping for). However I've heard various stories about data getting corrupted on on...
All new custom Broadcom BCM2711 SoC with 1.5 GHz Arm Cortex-A72, new memory options (1 GB, 2 GB, 4 GB), USB-C power and USB 3.0 support, two display outputs with 4K support, 802.11ac and Bluetooth 5.
Huh, even the microSD card slot has improved, with UHS-I SDR50 support (up to 50 MB/s).
It's important to remember the socket and desktop platform you're building on. With older motherboards and processors, you've got fewer choices for upgrading, and older processors can be hard to find. If you get a modern platform, you'll be able to upgrade for longer and you'll have more room to grow.
Replacing the processor takes a bit of finesse but isn't a very difficult job. There's a number of videos on YouTube which demonstrate how to replace the processor for a modern Intel socket.

Hello everyone... can someone please tell me, would a software act faster and better if I just install it using .msi file? Or unzipping it and storing it on the hard disk and then using it from there is faster?
@FarazDurrani if someone's shipping a piece of software as both a .zip with an executable and as an .msi, it's because it makes no real diffference - the only actual difference is likely to be that the .msi will appear in add/remove programs and have a desktop shortcut whereas the .zip version won't -- but that's far from guaranteed
some apps might have fewer features in the zip version due to lack of installation; some may require admin rights for the .msi but not for the zip; some may actually install the program from the .exe just like the msi
it depends entirely on the app and what it does; there's no real generalization that can be made
in terms of program loading faster and there is no slowness, both will achieve that?
I thought that, since a program will be installed on a computer, it will have an entry is the registry, meaning it will load faster and provide better performance generally
But if program is just sitting on a harddisk, then there is no registry for it and when you double click on the .exe file, it will take some time to load as OS has no prior knowledge of it.
@allquixotic FWIW I have a "Programs" folder in my home folder and put all my no-install programs there. Then I right-click on the executable and select "Pin to Start" so that there's a tile on my Start menu for quick access.
@FarazDurrani there's no basis for anything you're saying... registry lookups are nearly instantaneous because the registry is mostly cached in RAM anyway, and the program loading time is primarily determined by whether the program and data are in the page cache or not
and a program that isn't "installed" can still be in the page cache
