They say that shit every couple of years and it doubles every couple of years. The only excuse I've heard is that programs are now more likely to be poorly optimised

im running wine steam and secondlife thats all

>Not designing your machine based on the tasks it will have to perform

You're still not using close to 16. You could've just gotten 12.

at this point im thinking about grabbing 16 more and going to 32

and then ran in single channel? i think not id rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it

Unused ram is wasted ram. When you have more your OS utilizes it to keep more stuff ready for quick access.

You just can't read htop output properly.
The 5GiB left are used for caches currently.
Depending on what you are doing, that's enough, or really not.

>linuks with 16gigawatts of rom
why would you do that?
linuks can only run firefox and vlc and neither uses so much memoir...

>they never ran an oracle weblogic server, jdeveloper and osb

Good luck with your 16gb. I prefer my 32 gb
