DDR3 or DDR4?

Fuck You Fgt

16gb for anything that isn't a raspberry pi

>32GB RAM for using chrome

GB RAM for Facebook machine.
Nice meme

i am right now on such a meme. but i had to tweak firefox to be honest

60 gigs of ram for minecraft and LoL

I use a machine with 512MB RAM (iGPU reserves some of that too so it's really less) and didn't even have to fuck with my browser

why is Sup Forums full of people with ancient tech?

I always wonder why

120 gigs for Windows 10 telemetry libraries

It's not even remotely close to my only device, just one that I like and use often.
>lol it's old so it sux
How're you enjoying life as a consumerist whore, user?

well we are on Sup Forums....we are supposed to have multiple tech devices

and we are supposed to have above average tech not garbage

>it's old so it sux lol
Thank you for proving my point. I sincerely hope you're just underage, the thought of adults like you is quite upsetting.

What is the i for?

...

KB = 10^3 Byte
MB = 10^6 Byte
...

KiB = 2^10 Byte
MiB = 2^20 Byte

Only Windows still does it wrong nowadays because Windows users hate change

Fucking retard. GiB/MiB stopped being a thing from windows 8.

>that post

Wow.
Now think about it again.

I'm a senior CGI particle artist with 5 years experience in the industry and 6 years in /3/

I worked with many different complex cinematic scene files and physical simulation software and never needed more than 8gigs of ram.

You delusional niggerfaggot attention whore.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man

Windows being factually wrong according to the IEC, ISO and NIST, the three largest industry standards organizations, is not a strawman argument.

>12GB RAM for newer games
lelmaous

32GB for modded Cities: Skylines.

100gb of ram for eclipse java development

128 GB of ram just in case.

>tfw my 16gb is wasted on animu and 4chinz

:^)

I have 4gb with a minimal DE, literally only use a browser terminal and sometimes torrent client and with out a swap my system will go completely unresponsive and require a reboot after a few hours.

Even indie games with mods can eat 8GB of RAM nowadays.

>tfw you fell for the 8gb single channel meme

I'd like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as artist is in fact software operator, or as I've recently taken to calling it, a faggot.

Firefox and Chrome need atleast 128GB of ram if you have 500 tabs open like me

niggers Wind Waker with mod textures takes up to 21gb of ram

100 wont even start it faggot, at least 128 is the requirement
fucking pajeet

>16GB+ for AutoCAD
What? AutoCAD, ArchiCAD run perfectly on 4GB.

2GB is too low, even for facebook machine nowadays, if you want your fb experience to be responsive.

>16GB+ RAM for autocad and heavier photo/video editing.

Nigga, what? Do you even know how photo/video editors work?

>640 KB ain't enough for everything
How shitty programmers nowadays are.

>4 GB for Facebook machine (We have 2016 and a 4 GB is less than 20 €)

>6 GB for older games (4 was "a lot" for a 2008 gaming PC back then, but why not pack 6 its almost free

>8 GB for budget modern gaming

>12-16 GB for highend-gaming (Focus on faster RAM here, but 16 will suffice for everything)

>32+ for photo/video editing and VM addiction

>tfw sister's art school recommends Core 2 Duo and 16GB RAM

>2GB for Facebook/Youtube
>4GB for office work/old games/light media work
>8GB for medium-heavy games/video editing
>16GB for heavy video editing/running the latest games on Ultra/

Original MAC came with 128kb, so 640kb was very large for the day.

And it's a fake quote.

Facebook machine = shitposting box

Poor or children

nice music taste senpai

8GB is the perfect amount for non-austistic users.

>niggers Wind Waker with mod textures takes up to 21gb of ram
>100gb of ram for eclipse java development
Either GB or GiB, never gb.

128 KiB

Autistic.

See, you even had to get the speling of that right thats how autistic you are.

My desktop has 4gb ram, and I can play games, watch Netflix in KDE. I can even do all those things at the same time.
Why should I get more?

They are factually correct according to JEDEC standards though, but I agree the JEDEC standards are retarded.

Arguably true but then Windows still shows incorrect file and disk sizes.

nigger

Ddr2

Can anyone help me out with reducing the memory usage on Firefox? I have less than a gigibyte of ram and having about 12 tabs takes up half of it.

>And it's a fake quote
Now we call it memes.
Anyway, there was Linus' quote where he said you will barely need over 64 MB per task.

if that facebook machine runs windows then it needs at least 4gb ram or it will lag

GB RAM for Facebook machine.
GB RAM for older games and lighter photo editing
half the RAM is needed for those

>tfw fell for the 128GB was more than enough meme

32gb?
a perfect meme machine?

Reminder that it's GiB, not GB

>12gb ram for new games

wat, 8gb is fine for new games.

64GiB + Is needed for game editors when they start having millions of assets. Bake times are ten times longer when you don't have enough ram.

Get the "Unload Tab" extension and set it to unload tabs automatically after a certain period of inactivity.

> GiB
Nope, GB.
fuck off

How the fuck can this thread have 70 replies?! Sup Forums is a fucking shithole.

Any serious DAWs need 32 - 100+ GB memory

I hate retarted prefixes.

...

>retarted

why do car guys drive old cars? aren't they obviously obsolete? i can't fathom how somebody would like something or want to tinker with old technology

Does Doom actually need 12 GB? That sounds really fucking high.

Because they still work.

seriously, no one cares

I've got 128 GB of RAM so I can shitpost in 800 threads simultaneously with no lag.

then don't use windows... it's a facebook machine

Building a home server + NAS with:

G3900 (Skylake Celeron)
MSI H170M PRO-VDH

Is there a decent advantage from using ECC?
I get mixed signals about ECC being possible or not with this board. Crucial website tells me I can't, other websites tell me I can.

Also, I'm getting 8 GiB to feed the meme.

Not just any frogs, though. The rarest of the frogs.

Poverty.
>but my autobiography would just be an anecdote anyway and not representative of all of Sup Forums and their toasters.

How many Gb for rendering 3d pepes?

Gb stays for gigabit dumb nigger

And he's asking how many he needs, dumb nigger.

how much gigglyboogies do I need for minecraft?

RAM is incredibly cheap right now so I bought 16 GB.

I frequently bottleneck ram wise with Windows 10 and 8gb in the following activities.

GTA V,
Minecraft with mods
active web browser and two to three VM's (kali+victim/s(win7/8)

I am looking into building a new computer for the skylake meme as I have to crunch numbers frequently, should I get 32gb or will 16gb last for at least another year or two?

>32gb quad channel ddr3
>only ever frogposting on 4chins
>not even rare pepes, only generic/shitty ones
>probably only need 2-4 gb
you people did this to me

Average day, nothing unusual running.

...

This post is legendary. Someone should make a little comp of this thread.

>what is JEDEC

What if I'm using 6 GB of RAM right now for shit posting and general browsing with scripts disabled?

I never knew my subtle shitpost would get this much attention. Damn autists.

I have ECC on mine. Still freezes to shit every now and then, although it's nothing to do with the RAM.

Anyway, both your motherboard and CPU needs to support ECC. In my case it's unbuffered (which should be most cases).

ECC is a bit complicated, user. But it's good for something which will be running 24/7.
