A reader asks: “How many programs, tasks, and games can I keep open with good performance and no lag on a PC with 16GB RAM/i7 8750HQ/GTX 1060 6G?”

The answer is: 17.

Or 674.

Or 2.

Or 4,237.

Not all “programs, tasks, and games” are equal. A handful of resource-hungry apps might bring even a top-of-the-line PC to its figurative knees.

But you could run hundreds or even thousands of tiny, efficient apps on the same machine.

Sorry, there’s no way to answer your question!

But: You’ve specced a pretty decent system, so you should be ample for any reasonable, mainstream use.
