Actually yes, but memory prices are cheap compared with GPU. So why not to buy 8-16 GB memory for RAM and save some HDD
no reason for "
why not", if @OP will purchasing RAM more than 4GB that's a good choice.
if for a storage better purchasing an SSD than HDD. the reason (
but SSD prices are cheap compared with GPU)
I thought like this when I used to be a green noob
But in real life
1) 4 GB is not enough for Windows 10 and even for Linux 8GB is better
2) SSD is a poor choice cause it's not reliable, hdd is cheaper, you do not need that speed for mining rig.
