16 GiB of RAM is the minimum today. There is no debating around it.
I’m on a 16 GiB machine and For only browsing Sup Forums it uses 8 GiB.
For browsing I mean I have every thread open in a separate tab in chrome with the auto image expander plug-in that immediately gives me full sized images.
Its the only way to brows. You jump from tab to tab and instantly see all fully loaded images. Using only one tab is self torture. My time and satisfaction is more precious then the cost of some RAM sticks.
thought about upgrading to 16 but i have about 50 tabs open right now and I'm not even using half, like 3.5 gb
don't see the need to upgrade desu senpai
Blake Williams
>You jump from tab to tab and instantly see all fully loaded images. >Using only one tab is self torture.
8gb with an SSD is fine for shitposting duty
Nathan Martinez
What web browser? What websites do you have in your tabs. Chrome is terrible. The only reason I use it occasionally for Sup Forums is if I need to see all full sized images in a thread.
Only chrom has this plug-in. And I'm using chromium because fuck google.
Check out my stats no joke.
Charles Ortiz
I am using chrome, I have about 10 chan tabs open, about 10 okcupid tabs open, email, sms via web open, 5 indeed.com tabs open and about 20 porn spankbang/xvideo tabs open
everything is fast and instant to navigate
also I have a few firefox tabs open for reasons
Cameron Jackson
Really?
I don't see major difference. I use XFCE and IDE for programming while listening to youtube music with opened around 3-4 tabs and 3-4 tab of Sup Forums and telegram running incase my gf is not bitching about I don't have a time for her.
My RAM usage is around 2.7GB MAX of 4GB.
Prove me why would I listen you if everything works fine and I don't play gaymes anymore.No time for that bullshit especially for gf meme.
Justin Foster
Yes if you only brows one page you can even use a 2000 computer.
I'm saying chrom is this level of shit that it bloats instantly. Also a lot of full sized images make a massive impact.
Jace Perez
>Also a lot of full sized images make a massive impact.
bro I have literally 50 tabs open using 3.5 gb of ram and images are not an issue
what is wrong with your computer if you are even bringing up "full size images"
Anthony Martin
OP take half the ram out of your computer and see if you notice much difference
i bet you wont when just browsing and shit
James Bailey
Do a test for me can you. Get chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/Sup Forums-image-expander-save/ggomljifiniejngdniedfkabakfipbkm This plug-in for chrom.
Go to Open every thread in there in a new tab and expand all images in every tab.
See if the computer will even be usable or not massively lag.
Mine works silky smooth.
Xavier Robinson
that would have far more to do with your internet speed than the RAM in your PC you dummy
also an SSD pagefile is pretty fast for just photos and shit
Sebastian Perry
In case I am not lying.
Two 1080p videos are loading and three Sup Forums page that I need.
Jonathan Foster
You got me OP.
I don't have needs like that so it works in my work machine with 4gb ram.
Jacob Sullivan
LOL no. I'm talking about the computer becoming unresponsive(this lag not INTERNET lag). Not internet lag. Of course it will take time for the images to download however after they do you can see.
I have a HDD and RAM is always faster then a SSD. So better get more RAM.
Thomas Allen
>Using only one tab is self torture I dunno, I don't have that many tabs, every time I get bored of thread I just close the tab.
Eli Gonzalez
>I’m on a 16 GiB machine and For only browsing Sup Forums it uses 8 GiB.
You have a shitty computer with problems, and using Chrome is just one of them along with your idiotic browsing methodology.
You're also a stupid fucking person.
>stupid fucking people will be the death of us all
Brandon Nelson
Can I see the htop output or some resource monitor?
Kayden Hall
decent desktop you have What's the theme? How taskbar is vertical?
Carson Perry
>I'm talking about the computer becoming unresponsive(this lag not INTERNET lag).
I am telling you 8gb is fine and my computer is not unresponsive and I have multiple tabs with partially loaded 100mb porn vids in them and god knows what else open and I am streaming netflix in the background
no lag
I am currently using 4.5 gb of ram
do you have an SSD hard drive?
Nathaniel Garcia
>OH GOD MY EYES >not even using Sup Forums with HTTPS >GTFO you idiot
Cameron James
>>OH GOD MY EYES wtf?
Jonathan Ward
>triying this hard to justify being a cuck
Kevin Sanders
>I have a HDD and RAM is always faster then a SSD.
this is where you are fucked up, you need an SSD, yes RAM is faster than SATA however you are having to make up for not having an SSD with all that ram
trust me, you need an SSD and you are wrong about our computers being laggy
I have a good job and could load up on ram on a whim if I felt like it, but I don't need it my computer is super responsive with 8gb and me abusing it by keeping 50 tabs open and just clicking restore tabs every time i restart
Ryan Ortiz
Mmm, yes, very interesting.
Cameron Lewis
>Can I see the htop output or some resource monitor?
do you not see where it shows how much RAM he is using?
Brody Edwards
You can see in screenfetch ram usage that should be enough for you.
Here you go it is lower usage and you can see in network tabs that I am running three youtube videos in 1080p and Netbeans IDE.
Jace Peterson
Good for you. Use what works for you :D.
If you have 5~9 windows opened 4 GiB is god. Also getting anything else then chrom works miracles.
I'm simply addicted to the instant browsing of images and only mother fucking RAM bloat chrom has this plugin.
You really need to give it a try, while other pages load in separate tabs you can instantly brows full resolution images with no loading time.
Also you all need to try this out, instant browsing of images, its heaven.
Camden Gutierrez
i've tried it, i don;t like every shitbox frog image displayed in full res, it fucks up the thread, ill click on what i want to see
Samuel Wright
Wanted to have process count for completeness. All running process and all the jazz.
Was only interested. I did see RAM usage.
Zachary Wilson
>I have a HDD

stop bragging about your ram if you are not using an SSD boot disk
Logan Green
I use Raleigh and etude. I made vertical taskbar in panel options. I made it visible for OP so he can see I am running other programs.
Easton Peterson
>your idiotic browsing methodology pleb. >muh only use one tab browsing >muh wait minutes for images to expend to full size >muh waiting for things to load You are literally cancer. >No one will need more than 637 kB of memory for a personal computer Kill yourself.
James Flores
>>muh wait minutes for images to expend to full size
why do you think low RAM and not your internet connection would cause images to take minutes to load?
Jose Baker
Well if that is your need I am not in position to say anything.
I am fine with 4gb ram and chrome is known for being bloatware.
Austin Miller
buy an ssd faggot
seriously you don't know what you are talking about
nobody is saying anything except that 16gb is overkill for browsing, and that is true
Kayden Martinez
Na. SSD is only a cheap fix. Not dumping RAM to memory is the superior option.
I rather get more RAM then a SSD. Also doing this will kill your SSD faster, while RAM is practically eternal and has life time warranty.
Chase Lewis
>SSD is only a cheap fix.
it's the solution
not a cheap fix, you are wrong about assuming an SSD equipped PC cant be very snappy with as low as 4gb of ram and shitloads of tabs open
Charles Stewart
>I do retarded nonsense shit, therefore 16GB is the minimum for everyone Go be a sped somewhere else
Isaac Stewart
Why are you even here you subhuman piece of shit
Ian Phillips
>50 tabs Of what?
I can open 100 tabs of short text and not go over 2GiB on some relic of a computer with ancient browser.
Do my test. No seriously I want you to test your system and see if really your configuration with a SSD + 8GiB will work.
Adam Walker
Nah, I would say 8GB is the minimum
16 is good to have if you're a developer with multiple instances of VS and SQL Server and whatnot
Jacob Howard
The output is real. So my OS is a cuck?
Kevin Martinez
tabs >Of what?
see:
I just "restore tabs" when I reboot my personal computer and leave the porn in the background till i feel like watching it, i do this for months on end and my computer is very snappy
8core cpu, SSD, 8gb ram
Landon Lee
Can anons even count above 3? I did tell you to open all threads in separate tabs on /wg/ not 2 tabs only.
Grayson Roberts
>Do random shit that nobody does for the sole purpose of stressing ram Why not just run a forkbomb?
Nolan Phillips
>No seriously I want you to test your system and see if really your configuration with a SSD + 8GiB will work.

Sebastian Jones
If I tell you to kill yourself will you do it
Joseph Watson
SSd are shit. I rather have more storage + instant responsiveness for less money.
Luis Brooks
>SSd are shit.
if you say so, but you are wrong
I have an SSD to boot and a terabyte hdd for saved media
the SSD is the best upgrade I have ever made for the money
>not being able to figure out how to use a boot drive and either NAS or an HDD
2017
Easton Baker
Yes however its the internet. And if you already opened threads in new tabs they can get preloaded. Also your internet speed means shit if the other server is not sending in time or is limiting output.
Here is where uforing works and this translates to opening every peace in a new tab.
Hudson Turner
>I rather have more storage + instant responsiveness for less money.
good ssds are cheap now bro
Dominic Richardson
>Yes however its the internet. >And if you already opened threads in new tabs they can get preloaded. >Also your internet speed means shit if the other server is not sending in time or is limiting output.
you really don't know what you are talking about
i bet you are 17
congrats on having a fucked up system that uses 8gb of ram to browse the net
Anthony Sanchez
>nobody is saying anything except that 16gb is overkill for browsing, and that is true Except I'm literally having the OS report to me that it uses 8GiB now. With a good browsing session opened.
Also do the test.
Oliver Torres

something is wrong with your shit
Colton Harris
>I do retarded nonsense Like using a graphical web browser? How about a GUI? Go back to your text terminal and only writing in vim. While I do retarded shit like using web browsers and multitabing.

if you have lower than 128gb ram you are a pleb

Jace Smith
8gb (or even 4gb) is fine for most users
Gabriel Reyes
>8GB is the minimum Kind of true. I like to have a load of free RAM if something decides to take more RAM.
If you go over the 8GiB you will have a bad time.
Daniel Johnson

What's everyone obsessions with having so much RAM? I had 16GB just because sometimes I need to run multiple desktops, other than that it never goes beyond 8GB for browsing or even gaymes.
too much is the same as not enough
Bentley Green
>I'm to retarded to understand how Internet network connections work >I got so butt blasted with facts I'm going to ignore your points and shitpost about yours stem wasting RAM in a desperate attempt to divert attention from my fucking up about the communications speeds being determined by both server and client.
Landon Roberts
>What's everyone obsessions with having so much RAM? I had 16GB just because sometimes I need to run multiple desktops, other than that it never goes beyond 8GB for browsing or even gaymes.
if you are booting from an old style spinning HDD it's the only way to make up for the lack of speed
most people have moved on though
Cameron Howard
>>I'm to retarded to understand how Internet network connections work
you are the one saying your ram makes downloading photos load faster
Bentley Brooks
>gaymes No gaymen today will ever go over 4GiB do to geymers having shit systems with tiny RAM modules.

For years I was stuck on a 32 bit system with the max of 4GiB RAM do to the fact that I'm a greedy jew. And waited for years to get my new 64bit computer with the max of 32 GiB of RAM.
For years I did have the browser chock on itself when there was to much RAM used. Now this never happens and I'm happy. And making threads to post my satisfaction of having 16GiB or RAM.
Caleb Turner
16GB would be useful for VM and such
Daniel Brooks
1) you wrote that internet speed will make photos load faster. Explain how this is possibly if the server is shit and limits uploads. Want me to give you examples of modern servers who pull this shit? Or do you admit you fucked up hard?
2) >you are the one saying your ram makes downloading photos load faster Bullshit. If you open 2 tabs and both tabs are opening full photos after you finish browsing tab 1 every photo in tab 2 has loaded.
Is this to difficult for you? Now tabs cost RAM and this is where more ram helps with more tabs. Got it?
Christopher Bennett
>max of 32 GiB Why not 256 GiB of RAM, or a TiB?
David Gray
Are you talking about Virtual desktops? You know the CTRL+ALT+Right_arrow shit? This literally costs nothing.
Or what? VM? If you did say Virtual machines then its a different subject.
Easton Carter
>caching >I like to wait minutes for a response time >No one needs fast computer experience >I think I'm smart Euthanise yourself.
Caleb Sanders
True.
>Why not 256 GiB of RAM, or a TiB? 1) They don't sell these computers(not fucken servers you sysadmin fuck) when I got mine.
2) I'm a greedy jew
3) Do to (2) I got a computer with 32 max (max at that time) and installed 16GiB with 2 more slots for 16GiB more. This way i max out the RAM without throwing away RAM sticks.
4) See I'm a greedy jew
Dominic Perry
>They don't sell these computers(not fucken servers you sysadmin fuck) Should've checked dell.com They sell desktop workstations with 256 GiB :)
Gabriel Hill
It was 2 years ago. can you link to their best offers?
Also I did do a entire chart of price efficiency to cost ratio.
You simply underestimate how greedy of a jew I am.
Jack Howard
You could buy workstations with 512 GiB two years ago. Just saying that 32 GiB hasn't been the maximum for a long time.
Jaxon Davis
I use one 8gb stick because I'm poor.
Only thing I can't do is run Rust since that shit eats 6+Gb.
Connor Reyes
>YOU HAVE TO HAVE 16GB OF RAM OR YOUR SURFING WILL BE SLOW >everyone points out this is not true, from experience >IM STILL RIGHT
idiot
Jacob Gutierrez
Link plz. I'm browsing dell.com and I only see 16GiB machines I was never about maxing out the RAM. It was a complicated price to output over time analysis. This is why i did not get a SSD, getting 16GiB was cheaper so i did it.
Le happy user is me.
Jaxson Morris

Noah Sanders
If you define waiting for images to load not to be torture and a wast of time. Sure knock yourself out.
Isaiah Young
>If you define waiting for images to load not to be torture and a wast of time.
the time it takes images to load is related to your network speed, not how much ram you have
unless you are using such a slow HDD that the HDD write speed has become the bottleneck....
>poorfag I'm a greed fag RAM is faster and will never die on me (lifetime warranty). So getting this ram was the optimal solution to maximize output needed with price minimization.
I simply got the biggest bang for my buck and I'm happy. Also I have a lifetime scenario for my machine. Where I will replace it with a system in 2019 that must have a minimum of max 256 or 512 GiB RAM and the RAM modules need to be configured So that I don't throw away RAM and only add until I get the max.
PlZ get on my level and join me in /merchant/
Benjamin Reed
RAM and the hard drive are different things but work together
you have blown out your ram and ignored your hard drive, your system is not balanced in a modern way
save up for an SSD and and then you will see
your logic is "I did this so it was the best possible thing" But I am telling you as someone who assembles computers and workstations for pro business use that using a spinning HD and a shitload of ram is not the making of a balanced smart system.
you would have been better off with 8gb of ram and a small boot SSD in terms of how snappy the box feels
I explained this. in Also you fail networking forever. Get off Sup Forums or explain how you can get something faster if the server is limiting you in the speed it sends to you.
Explain this gentoman to me.
Tyler Reed
>Get off Sup Forums or explain how you can get something faster if the server is limiting you in the speed it sends to you.
the server is rarely the limiting factor in real world situations on major websites like Sup Forums
there is no reason to even bring it up
regardless, if Sup Forums is serving up images slowly all your ram wont make it faster
Jaxson Moore

this
learn to admit when you are wrong op
Charles Gray
Interesting yet I did a cost to output analysis. Do you do this for your computers?
My calculations (might be flawed they are only on paper after all) showed a imbalanced system is better. Also the more esoteric things where calculated SSD + HDD costs more SSD will die do to use RAM is immortal.
I'm also waiting for this dell link of the 256 GiB workstation. I think its not showing it to me because I live in greedy jew land so I only get the cheapest options.
Isaiah Jones
you have fallen for the SSD MEME try to run your entire system on RAM only, literally load the OS into RAM with no SSD/HDD parts.
And then tell me how snappy SSDs are.
Sebastian Fisher
>SSD will die do to use
HDDs will die due to use faster than a modern SSD
christ you are new

Jack Adams
Well RAM usage is out of control these days, but it's an efficiency issue and nothing else, owed both to browsers and the use websites make of it.
If you were to code a dedicated imageboard browser with native GUI, it'd eat barely 20MB RAM to actively display a thread with thumbnails, could cache hundreds ready to be displayed, and require mere MB to keep and update thousands.
But with a modern browser and javascript everywhere, don't count on it.
Liam Wright
No I did do it on my machine. Did you?
With no baseline comparison you can not say how snappy SSDs are VS pure RAM. You want snappy? Get a fuck tone of RAM load the OS into RAM only and try it out.
If you ever try pure RAM you are never going back. Literally the consequences will never be the same, everything changes, literally everything.
