That face when you did not fall for the "16GiB is a MEME"MEME

Be me.
Have massive tabs open on a 64bit system
Look at resource manager.
Normally its 8GiB
Now its 10GiB

Sure glad I have 16GiB, time to upgrade to 32GiB.

What now faggots?

Stop using shit browsers and shit sites.

>tfw only have 3 tabs open at the most
>tfw 1gb

>high memory usage
GNU/Linux doesn't have this problem.

OP here.
I'm on GNU+Linux.

16gb here.
Chrome really fucks with my ram.

I swear to god chrome is mining bitcoins in the background or some shit.
Like what the literal fuck?!
Who even uses this browser?
If you use chrome we know you are a normy and belong on Facebook.
Chrome is 10^100 worse then internet explorer.

CIA collecting

You know these data profiling AIs need RAM to profile your habits and send it in a compressed form to google+NSA central database.

>10^100 times worse

How many goddamn tabs you got open? Tab hoarding is a disease.

lol OP is an retard

>bought 32GB RAM in quad channel kit for around 100 bux
Yea I really don't care that I fell for such a cheap meme.

At the moment 11 but I need all of them. I close tabs when I no longer need it.

fuuuckk use -h for fuck's sake

total used
Mem: 7.8G 800M


It's a meme and you've wasted your money.

go straight for 64gb

I use KDE and Firefox with more than 100 tabs and it rarely uses 3 GiB.

>using disgusting GNU bloat
lmao found the problem

>-h, --human-readable
kek, what year is this?

>open photoshop to draw something
>its going to be printed on an A3 frame
>tfw run out of RAM
It's an Ivy Bridge ITX build with both slots populated by 8gb sticks. Photopoop alone eats up all I allow, ~14gigs.

16gb is overkill, they said

Uh, that just means Linux left some stuff that could be cleaned in your RAM because cleaning RAM (marking it as used by another program) costs basically nothing at all.

Unless you can show it then often USED this RAM instead of reading the same stuff again from your HDD, it probably didn't impact performance much.

But sure, moar RAM is nice to have, and since it doesn't really bring power consumption of the system up by much it's usually better to have more for the few situations where you might need it.

Stop sucking cocks, you don't know what you're doing.

For compiling sometimes i need 6GB, but that's all. 16GB is a good goy choice, especially after the increased prices.
