Tfw 64GB of RAM

>tfw 64GB of RAM

simply ebin

Actually pointless.
What are you doing with it? If you're one of those people who has an excess amount of RAM for no reason you're a fucktard.

>tfw 512mb of ram

>not 128GiB
Stay pleb

>tfw 8GB

Did you build those 8GiB yourself little frog?

>tfw buy friend's old ram, now have twice the capacity and more heat, but no more fps

Maybe he is running multiple VMs

>wincucks
Dude stop, also checking myself 64GB

What did you expect gaymerfag?

so close...

Using a ram heatsink wont help, just so you know

Running data-intensive software on a ram disk is pretty neato

Like Firefox?

You're still behind

Why do you need a 1080 in linux?

>he fell for the 8gb/16gb/32gb/64gb/128gb/1TB ram meme

Screenfetch poster here, not even mine saved it from a screenfetch thread.

Not too sure why they had such insane specs, did the math and I'm pretty sure they have a 5x2 grid of monitors

This. Unless he's currently sitting at Pixar, rendering scenes from Toy Story 5, there is literally no point in having that much. Even 32GB would be extreme.

arch viz, multiple VMs, machine learning on big datasets etc all consume insane amounts of ram even is you do it on a freelance/amateur level

to all niggers itt: why not have 32GB, ram is dirt cheap, who gives a heck.

What is the use for 128GB RAM?

enjoy your notepad consuming 5GB after several years of everyone buying ram because they can

maybe a server

tfw 64gb ssd

16gb is the new 8gb

98% of gaymes are same speed with 4GB and 90% of the remaining 2% is same speed with 8GB so going above 8GB is for spergs for gayming.

The only legit application for the desktop that can use enormous amounts of RAM is video editing because they skip though 100s of GBs.

Other than that it's mainly extreme server use that most spergs here do not need.

autistic shit, your committed memory is less than 6.5Gigs there.

cache has 0% performance impact on your current run gayme.

>tfw 12gb ram

Same, it's more than enough

but why? I'm satisfied with my 8GB. sure, if you want to do some hardcore video editing or scientific work you might need 64 but for desktop use 8GB is fine, 16GB is better, 32GB is money better spent on CPU or GPU

>Tfw mixed 1600 and 1066MHz RAM

wat?

>What is CAD
>What is Mathematics software
>What is a fucking spreadsheet
>What is Chrome

Every time someone acts like the only uses for PCs are kiddy games and browsing they reveal that, actually, they're the ones who've never done anything in the real world

I upgraded to 32GB because I do dev work and run VMs and shit, but even I don't touch 16GB used RAM. So it was a useless upgrade (luckily RAM is cheap). I highly doubt most faggots would ever see anything close to that sort of utilization without doing workstation work. Anyone buying more than 16GB for desktop use today is a fucking moron. Heck, 8GB is more than enough until the end of the decade for sure.

>RAM is cheap
where? I'd have to pay 150€ for 16GB today while I got the same amount 5 years ago for 80€

>windows
>4gb
How do you function?

must be shit tier 32 bit system

>16gb or more is for gaymur manchildren

What is virtual machines

Registering 3.9GB instead of 4, so probably.

i dont understand what you mean, but someone surely cares

>people on Sup Forums pretending that they work for both nasa and disney and need 4tb of ram for work

what about gaming while watching a video stream on youtube or twitch? add some stuff running in the background together with win10 chimping out and you can go above 8gb

don't be a sperg. Chrome will never need more than 2-3gig committed even with 20 open tabs. Excel won't either unless you run the NASA program on them.

most spergs here don't even understand how to read the task manager.

it's mainly about committed memory. cache has very minor impact.

the common sperg behavior is to look at task manager and see the cache use which might be high on high RAM. They don't understand how minuscule that is on performance in 90+% of cases. For the current gayme someone is running at that moment cache from the OS has nearly a 0% impact.

>even with 20 open tabs
>even
That's normal browsing. Porn browsing is more with videos loaded into main memory.

you are a sperg. Have you even tried it? if I open the heaviest applications I can, it barely goes to 7GBytes (and I never need them all)

most spergs here don't understand it's the committed memory that matters, not the cache.

the cache has nearly 0% impact on the currently run application, e.g. a gayme.

and I said, even with those it doesn't need much. try it. Open the task manager and check the committed memory (not the cache).

same

I have Chrome open now on another PC with yesterday's tabs open, when I come back to it in a few hours I'll htop and I bet it will have leaked over 8GB

if it leaks extra gigabytes to committed memory the software is shit, not the choice of RAM size.

but I doubt that's even right for chrome, it's not that shit.

most of what people see as "used" is just cache.

>running some program i wrote in java
>it shows a webcam feed with face detection
>30 seconds in, every window closes
>check ram
>98% of 16 used

The software is shit but that's the modern use case.

>32 gig checks in here

I have a valid reason though as i use Chrome.

Ship it

I use Windows 10, Chrome with 40+ tabs, and have FFXIV running in the background and I never went above 5GB of usage out of my 8GB.

This is my usage with EVERYTHING running. It was so low that I had to open Google Chrome 68 more times just to make it something that's screenshot worthy.

It's 2+2+2+4 in case anyone is wondering. Google Chrome taking a lot of resources is a meme, obviously. However, if we're being serious... You don't need a lot unless you just want to show off. You'll never use it regardless.

The only uses a lot of RAM has is for servers. The other would be running virtual machines. Maybe hosting a video game server. Such as Minecraft or Garry's Mod, but that's not significant either.

Video editing, Photoshop, and CAD software do take up resources, but you won't need 128GB of RAM unless something is seriously wrong. Or you're doing an entire city in CAD.

science bitch.

I got 800 cores and 3.2TB of ram.

>dollar store spatulas are dirt cheap, why not have them?

Because I don't have a use for it so it's a waste. I can afford to buy 5 shitty used hondas too, doesn't mean it does me any good to have them.
