Four years ago, bought 2 sticks 8GB Crucial Ballistix Sport DDR3 RAM for $60.
Same RAM today...$120.
Why do you need all those open at once?
>still using DDR3
Poorfag.
>Why do you need all those open at once?
I'm doing real work, user. Something you filthy NEETs have no concept of! Begone
Be quiet.
Fucking pleb. 32GB+ is where it's at.
>he uses chrome
Didn't know you needed the steam client for work, same for torrenting dolphin porn.
Cool story, OP
>real work
>2 virtual machines

You're baiting. And yes, if you are an autist you will need more RAM. Buy 64 or 128 GiB.
>You're a nigger, faggot!
im currently on 8 gb ddr4 2133MHz. should i add another 8gb for 16gb? 8 is enough?
>OP desperately trying to justify wasting extra money on RAM
Good goy
so you are doing real work by
1)photoshopping
2) video editing
3)programming
4)playing
5)relaxing
cant bait more than this
You jelly mad faggots will never earn more than me. Go back to Sup Forums with your 8gb ram poverty pre-builts.

Haters gonna hate, great timing and purcahses OP.
I guess 8GB is the new 2GB
Sounds like quite the obstacle
I'm on 8 gigs back in the day when q6600 out. So 8 years+ ago.
is 2012 R2 though
You can tell by the ECC
I'll stick with 32GB thanks.

People run ECC on 8.1/10 all the time. Not sure what you're trying to point out...
>not 48GB
sad
>feeding RAM to his precious botnets running all at the same time
wew
16gb is not enough anymore.
>work as software engineer
>our software requires 32 GB RAM just to run
get with the times gramps
48 seems to be a pretty comfy amount.
Are you poor?
yeah i bet u use every single one of those programs all at the same time
>same computing style as my 60 yr old dad with a billion startup programs
>proud of it
was it autism that caused ths post?
16GB is not enough.
Bad b8 m8...
Real productivity doesn't involve more than three programs running at the same time unless you are doing 3D work and need to render multiple things at once (but at that point most people just have multiple workstations). Can tell if you have ADHD or just being retarded.

okay then

Jelly mad little beta
>Real productivity doesn't involve more than three programs running at the same time
Man, at my support job I've got about a dozen applications open at least at any given time.
I'm not waiting for shit to launch again over and over while I'm working tickets.
And "creative" productivity software like Photoshop can use many gigs at a time. You may only have it open and be using more then 8 gigs with that alone.
Dumb neets ITT.
Even photoshop alone can eat that RAM when working on a huge project.
I'm bouncing files back and forth between Photoshop, After Effects and Cinema 4D and I regularly exceed 16gb
>2 VM instances open
>Photoshop
>Premiere
>Video games open
Bait more softly user. Nobody would actually try running all those at once on 8gb of ram.
Autism.
Sup Forums's usual refutes when 8GB's insufficient.

Hilarious.
32GB quad channel ddr4 is pretty comfy.
I dunno mang.
My MBP eats 8+GB without running a VM.
With a debian VM it goes 11+.
8GB are not enough unless you only browse Facebook.
>tfw still having 4gb ram
It just werks
