Why would it need to keep that RAM allocated? No, seriously.
So a slower graphics card would do... what? Animate those occasional fancy effects at 10 frames per second instead of 60? (And then go back to sitting idle.) Even skipping over the fact that you can turn that fancy stuff off completely, how's that going to force you to get a top graphics card and a 500W PSU?
"It takes a quite a bit of hubris to claim that the mistakes you make due to ignorance or incompetence are going to become a standard."
Oxford English Dictionary:
If it genuinely fills a gap in the language, then it may well catch on among a significant section of the population and it will then have become part of the language, and if it is used in print (or can be traced, for example, in scripts or transcripts of broadcasts), it will fall within the sphere of the OED's Reading Programme.
There are a number of genuinely invented words in the Oxford English Dictionary. As well as various terms for commercial and industrial products, they include:
Frequently Asked Questions:How do you decide if a new word should go in an Oxford dictionary?
We conduct a Reading Programme to collect examples of words in use. If we have enough examples to show that a word has genuinely achieved currency, then we add it to our list of candidates for inclusion, and the editors research its usage and draft an entry. The general rule of thumb for the OED is that any word can be included which appears five times, in five different printed sources, over a period of five years. Oxford's smaller dictionaries of current English may include words with a shorter history.
Once a word has come to our attention, we will investigate sources such as film scripts or transcripts of broadcasts if they are available and seem likely to add to our knowledge of the word's origin.
