What is a Socket Processing Queue?
It's in the RAM upgrade's description. What is it? What good does the upgrade do?

Another small question: I see data transfer speed upgrade, so should I make the lines as short as possible or does it even work that way?

Hi bakanisan!

Socket processing queue is the amount of data that can be stored within a component waiting to be processed. For example, if we took an Expert System and it could store 10 inputs, that would mean ten data would be sent to the component before the input would 'jam' and not accept any more data. Increasing the socket processing queue size means increasing the time before a jam occurs which speeds up overall processing time.

Data transfer speed is the speed at which data will complete a trip down a pathway. The length of the pathway doesnt matter, only the number of pathways. You dont need to make the lines as short as possible.

I hope that helps!

So in order to optimize I should have less lines, in addition to all the upgrades?

To properly optimise you should the fastest components and the least number of them. That is why the Gold, Silver, Bronze goals have different amounts of components to achieve Gold, Silver, and Bronze. Gold usually has the lowest amount of components allowed.

The length of the lines dont matter, just the number of components connected to them.
