    Not necessarily. Using more RAM doesn’t increase energy usage, at least not significantly. And if you can use that to avoid making disk or network accesses, it’ll save energy. Obviously keeping the CPU spinning at 100% isn’t helping anybody, though.

      If it forces you to buy more RAM, it does. I think most notebook laptops have had their RAM specified based on browser needs those past years as it became the main application by far.
