I have an x230 and can't decide between upgrading to 8 or 16gb.

I do a lot of multi tab browsing but I don't know if I do 16gb worth.

t420 ChinkPad and I don't have any remorse on/for/about it anyway.

I fell pretty hard for the GUI meme. Thankfully I can boot my windows xp directly into dos

I have 32GB of RAM, I run a few virtual machines but I think I still fell pretty hard

How are you browsing Sup Forums?

Meme magic

Aol 3.0 for DOS

>I fell for the 16GB of RAM meme

fell for this one:
> 3d graphics - play 3d games with intel onboard graphics!

>oh cool they can do the video card processing on the cpu itself now

but whatever it does in directX, it sure as hell wont do things in opengl
> and for some reason directX is forgotten now, everything is opengl suddenly and without warning, and it cannot be emulated


set up a RAMDISK and then tell windows to put your Swap File on it

> now you force windows to put all of its sorting in ram, it has no hard drive swapfile anymore, it cant get lazy

dude ive got 2GB and im browsing this site

ive heard people getting away with 8GB and having no issues, including playing games

>thinkpad
>ssd
>16gb ram
>shark cards
>gayman pc

throw 16gb and forget that you even have 16gb

Wireless extension cord. Didn't see the date. Told my father the EE. Got laughed at.

HE PAID FOR A SHARK CARD HAHAHAHA

YOU PAID A COMPUTER TO CHANGE A VALUE

Linux, honestly. Just not for me. Gave multiple distributions a lot of chances, but never worked out. I like Fedora and Mangaro the most if anyone cares.

SSD was worth it, but it was overrated. I don't regret it, but I don't do much to make it THAT big of a difference compared to the price, but I'd rather have it than not. At least it's silent.

Can't think of anything else.

I don't play video games so 10 GB is enough for me. It's 2+2+2+4 if you're wondering. Even if I force everything to run at once, it's nowhere near 10. 8 at most.

It is NEET to be able to keep Google Chrome running and open as many tabs as I want without worrying, though. I just like the extra room for failure and security. I have swap file and all that disabled too.

I see no point in having more since I won't use it regardless.

I don't think he means those shark cards

I fell for the thigh highs makes you a good programmer meme.

>ive heard people getting away with 8GB and having no issues, including playing games

Ive got 6GB.

I'm pretty sure he does, since he said
>gaymen pc

8 is not enough.

I had 8GB of RAM that usually capped of at 6.5GB of use. I upgraded to 16GB and the minimum amount rose to 9GB.

why like this

>tfw fell for the ath-m50 meme
thankfully I fell for the hd598 meme too and I'm glad I did

>mechanical keyboard
>gaming mouse
>Ultrawide monitor
>16GB RAM
>i7 for gaymen and Sup Forums

I have 24 because my motherboard only supports up to that much, otherwise I'd be using 32 or more. It's come in handy for virtual machines but more importantly as a disk cache + ram drive, I do a ton of tasks that benefit from being in memory (lots of reads, moves, and writes on temporary data) and it's faster than an ssd so that's nice.

Who is that? Can I see too?

>tfw someone fell for the mechanical keyboard meme and bought me one for my birthday
Two years later and it's still the best gift anyone ever given me

i got baited to make foobar a video player

no i didn't they're chink sd cards

32GB of RAM meme

and SSD meme

I'm lovin' it.

When I was a kid I fell for the CCCleaner meme. I was obsessed with keeping my computer "clean", ended up ruining my registry and getting random errors. Reinstalled windows so many times.

That user here. No, I meant the other kind of shark cards. Get fucked, nigger.

>he doesnt know about shark SD cards

fucking hell

no you get fucked sissy boi

>64GB RAM
>14 core Xeon
>m.2 ssd
>sata ssd
>gaymen mouse
>nvidia graphics
>4K screen
>Linux
>Thinkpad

We know what you meant moron, that's not what he's talking about.

I really enjoy these memes actually. At least I'm i7 master race

But did you rice it

I got 16GB for the price of 8, don't feel too bad about it unless you overpaid.

Use the extra space for VMs

Yeah, for me the extra space was worth it:

>linking some crappy image sharing site
>instead of just posting the image
>on an imageboard
you have to go back

This is me having ~1100 tabs open. Uses around 36GB of RAM. Although this is probably more than how much >you< want.

>crappy
hey gyazo is comfy

it also didn't really occur to me, it's very natural to just plug the link instead of copying the image, saving it somewhere and then posting it.

>tfw fell for the IPS meme

...

>thinkpad
I actually like it, clit mouse wears down quick
>mech keyboard
I'll never go back to rubber
>linux
waste of fucking time outside server shit

how many more years do you guys think 8gb will be good for a person who doesn't do intensive work and will rarely have more than a dozen or so tabs running?

This bothers me looking for a new laptop...ultrabooks that can't be upgraded down the line.

who is this semen neko

8gb should be fine for a couple years at least. Since you're not doing intensive shit it'll work fine.

couple years as in 2yrs, or couple of years as in ~5yrs?

I fell for the NVidia meme and the Seagate meme. Never had a hard drive fail ever except for my Seagate.

I fell for the free software and GNU/Linux meme and I'm glad I did.

The Linux meme
Useless BS without any applications

Getting an E5-2699v4 next month and a GTX 1080(Ti?), after that ill rice the duck outta it.

2-3 years

sounds like a waste of my money then. I won't spend good money on a computer only to have it replaced in 3yrs. I expect 5yrs.

moto Sup Forums

At the very beginning of the release of DDR4 and X99
i payed close to 1000$ for 64 gb of ram.

I feel like an idiot to this day when i think about it.

The non-cheap mouse meme (especially gaming).
Three of these motherfuckers broke down on me in a period of ~5 years. Have been using the same trusty cheap Logitech ever since. Fuck expensive mice.

Please reply I'm also interested.

I fell for

>Xiaomi earbuds
>Redmi Pro 3
>16GB RAM
>SSD
>X220


Oh wait, I mean, I made good purchases that I don't regret even for a second, thanks to Sup Forums.

What didn't i fall for?!
>MacBook Pro with SDD and 16GB ram
>Desktop with Windows 10, nvme ssd and 16gb ram
>iPhone

Been cuck'd good, i'd say

I used to think 16GB of RAM was a meme, and the only reason I have 16GB is because I got it half price, but I'm thankful I do.

A few weeks ago I had a really bad memory leak, the 16GB allowed me enough headroom for a few minutes of up-time before a restart was needed.

If I had 8GB, I'd have needed many more restarts.

This.
Nearly impossible to get the bootloader unlocked,
build quality is shit/10
Wifi is totally broken now, so Im stuck using 4G and no moar chromecast
Sometimes bluetooth crashes, needing a reboot. This is a pain in the ass with my pebble.
MU UI is shiny but ultimately crap
No dbrand skins
Microusb is off center, upside down, making it incompatible with tons of gadgets

only waiting for a cheaper G Pixel to finally throw this chink mutant the fuck

>ThinkPad T420
No regrets.
>Sansa Clip Plus
No regrets.
>i3 WM
No regrets.
>Arch Linux

>Telegram
Mild regrets, but tied to the platform now.
>vaping
No regrets.
>Pastebin Pro
Regret.

Is she a hapa?

quads of quality

>Mangaro
>*.jif

>using windows
found your problem

I got 16GB and never regret.

Finally could disable the fucking pagefile. And no never got any trouble for it in around 2 years of use, despite pagecucks prophethising about woes and disasters.

Also SSD rocks, who says otherwise never used a SSD and is still waiting for the system to start :^)

Odroid C2 with eMMC drive. Best server for the price.

I bough the odroid after watching some user around laughing at people who buy a raspberry and not an odroid c2. He was right.

For me it's:

>SSD - It works well actually
>Thinkpad - Fuckin fantastic
>Linux -Also fantastic
>4k monitor - I could live without it but it's not bad or anything. just a little underwhelming
>Becoming a Trap - Worked well

Generally memes are memes for a reason I guess.

Worst bait in existence.

GG WP NO RE

this.
bought 1 ultrawide display.
could have bought two 22" normal ones.

feels bad mang

damn, I tried searching the source photo of this meme but I couldn't find it, does anyone know?

play.esea.net/users/1285956?tab=guestbook

I mean the photo without caption, the non-meme version. I did already try google of course but it shows only reposts, that one looks like a repost too.

I fell for 1060 > 480 meme.

I don't know anyone who doesn't pay for a computer to change values except maybe purely functional programmers.

I've fallen for the mini-ITX meme time and time (and time) again. Thinking to got at least micro-ATX for MOAR RAM POWER.

A 'meme' isn't a trick, it's just a viral idea. "falling for the meme" doesn't make sense, and is in itself a meme.

wtf man

I'll take the bait, what program did you install and eats 12 GB of ram? Assuming you are telling the truth.

please don't post ugly pictures in my thread

Browser, media player, video player, just the same set of tools I used on Windows. Just some alternatives of course. Can't remember what they were exactly, smplayer, Amarok, and so on.

i bought a gtx 970 because Sup Forums thought it was the tits. then 3.5gigamemes happened

I thought you Sup Forumsoys would want to see muh guts...

no, go back to >>>/reddit/

Aaaand nothing happened. Since it turns out 99.99999% of the games work just pretty fucking fine with it.
Thank you for your post, 0.001$ has been deposited to your account.

Even if you installed all that in WINE I see no way you could have gotten up to 12GB.

I normally run firefox, hexchat, jdownloader, transmission, vlc, and one time I've got virtualbox running at the same time and didn't even reached 8GB of ram.

Is either you are confusing ram usage like many other people or is all bullshit.

Anyway, you should check this page linuxatemyram.com/

I fell for the POSIX and Win32 memes, now I have seen the true light that is TempleOS
