8GB of RAM in 2017 is more than enough I swear!

RAMlets, when will they learn?

Never. They will never learn.

>enabling shitty programmers

What modded game needs 24gb of ram?

Skyrimjob.

Fallout NV with EVE.

>using computers to play games

Sup Forums is that way

>needing more than 256mb of ram

Minecraft and Planetary Annihilation come to mind

You've never seen a database have you?

>guys you should have at least 16GB of RAM so you can play minecraft!

It actually IS still enough for pretty much everything.

>mfw i only upgraded to 8 gigs of ram this year

>Video games and virtual machines
I don't play games and we have a development server everywhere we colocate. Which makes more sense than fucking around with virtual machines when we want to mess about with things like data-centre failover.

>being this envious of my 64GB ram
get gud kid

everything is veeeery subjective

You aren't going to get any replies with shit like that.

So, I use Awesome WM, GNU Emacs, urxvt, Firefox, mupdf, and everything else is CLI. I never passed the 3gb mark, so why exactly should I need more than 4gb? I mean, I rarely need more than 2, and I don't play games.

based

Chromium alone uses more than 3GB for me.

do you run VM?

When will 16gb drop to $50

Not as fast as that noose, hopefully.

Everyone on Sup Forums with 16 GB RAM is a database engineer, I see?

>tfw 8GB DDR3 and it costs $50 just for 8 more GB
OpenMW

I'm currently running 8 GB and I constantly hit swap/pagefile, ordered 2 more 4 GB sticks yesterday.

I never come even close to 8Gb usage. Foobar, firefox with bunch of tabs, qbt, overwatch, file manager, bunch of other small programs. Never seen any game to be very memory hungry too.

Go fucking kill yourself you piece of shit frogposting trash. How does it feel to spend hours everyday here wasting time instead of working on something productive? Real good I bet. Holy shit why would it matter to you how much ram do others use? Why the fuck would you care you son a of whore. Go fucking drown somewhere or neck yourself. Fucking faggot.

I-I'm sorry ;_;

i have had 12gb many years now and its usually enough

Jeez I had a shitty day. Sorry. Look man, you even took the effort to make the post image. There are tons of MOOCs online, just pick something that interests you and stick with it. No quitting, stick with it. It's better than shitposting here (I know there's irony in what I am saying).

i have only 4gb on my thinkpad and its more than enough because i have a desktop for heavier things.

Dont cry! Everything is finejobu.

>vm on desktop pc
i have an esx host for that

64GB master race here. Anything less than 32GB is for ramblets.

Tfw when I went from King of Ramlets to 64GB. Fight me midgets.

I use 376mb to shitpost here(dell latitude d500)

currently on 24 gb ddr3, upgrading pc and getting 32 gb ddr4 am i wasting money? i don't do shit whit VM's i mostly only game but i wipe my ass whit 200 dollars and i'd rather be safe than sorry am i retarded?

Too many crying animu ITT my heart cant take it.

>It actually IS still enough for browsing pretty much any website or playing pretty much any game.
yeah what if you want to do things other than web browsing or gaymes?

>I have no idea what I'm talking about

>got 16GB DDR4
>Mfw got the urge to get another 16GB pack cuz I'm alread reaching my limits with just playing games and using [spoiler]3 browser[/spoiler]at the samn time.

Games alone work jsut fine on 12-16GB, but jesus christ if you add a lot of other shit on top like 2,5 fully packed browser it becomes an issue.

...

256 gb master race here.- Hp Z520 workstation.

im a chrome tab hoarder so idk

>Mfw when using Opera 12.x, Latest and Vivaldi running at the same time and then checking the task maanger
ONE BILLION TASKS FROM THE BROWSERS ALONE.

My system is purely made for my comfyness, and is unoptimized and lazy as fuck, else i wouldn'T run into issues like i am now.

fug off commie

>got 16gig ddr3 for 60€
>current ddr4 pricing
>add import costs and taxes + Germanys tax on everything possible

I hate this fucking SHIT and the worst thing even stuff produced in Germany (Cherry Keyboards f.e) are still cheaper in the US.

Dritter Weltkrieg wann?

Actually I got 32GB (2x16) RAM for almost the same price as 16GB (2x8) RAM, which were both sold by G.Skill. Even though it's overkill and im not going to use all 32GB, I still got it for a good deal.

What? I paid 50 bucks (polish Złoty counterpart) for 8 GB additional SO-DIMM DDR4. It's not that fucking expensive.

20 tabs MS EDGE+Illustrator+Photoshop+spotify

I think I'm fine

i have a 5yo 8gb ddr3 ram and it carried witcher 3 on ultra without any problems.have no need for more than that because i don't have 80 tasks running at the same time like a faggot

>Implying 2GB isnt more than enough to be a productive and employed member of society.

>12-16gb
24gb should be minimum now

I have 20GB

16GB for running Openstack/Vmware/vCenter environments for my work, development and training. Leaves 4GB for main OS.

>6gb ram
then again I'm a Sup Forums user who just wanted to look at what Sup Forums is doing

>x5450
>Maximum supported ram 8 gb
welp

2x4gb should be the base standard, given this will keep most normies facebook machines functional

everyone else should be getting as much as they can since ddr4 prices are going to the moon.

>using x5450

That thing is just space heater. I live in equator lines country.. I will sweat a lot when I shitpost on 4 chan

4 is enough for anyone who doesn't game or even does light gaming, so at least 60% users. 8 is enough for moderate to high gaming. 16 is for linux users who want to run games in a windows VM. Anything more is for enthusiasts, servers, VMs, etc.
An OS and a browser don't use more than 3GB RAM. With 10 tabs open and 2 tabs loading and displaying FHD videos I don't get over 2.3GB used. And this is with steam and messenger taking a total of 520MB. So it's safe to assume an average person doesn't need to upgrade from 4GB.

So yeah, stop shilling, we know who (((you))) really are.

I have 16gb and even when I have a ridiculous amount of shit open plus a game, I'm not even at 8gb.

how running vms will be difficult, you stupid fucktard?
You can even run 6 vms with 1GB dedicated RAM for each.
Jesus christ this stupid meme makes me want to vomit. You kids will justify buying absolutely anything, even 128GB RAM because lelelelele muh rum, we need mur rum to get more e-peen benchmark points.
kill yourselves, dipshits.

4gb is only viable if you have a SSD. I worked on a new laptop with 4gb ram and an hdd and that shit was painful. The fucking drive never stopped grinding away. Adding 4gb more improved it immensely.

linux would be fine with even 1gb ram for normie use. windows needs at least 4gb to show the desktop without terrible lag.

You all laughed at me when I bought 16GB in 2011. Well, you're not laughing anymore!

wtf

Isn;t it?

What would be the purpose of a 1GB RAM VM? Other than testing very light operating systems.

HDDs are bottlenecks on any system. A dedicated GPU with 0.5 or 1GB VRAM would make a 4GB system fully usable without hiccups. You'd even be fine with 2GB as long as you have a dedicated GPU. Back when I still played league of legends I managed to run it on 2GB RAM on a shitty 2007 dual core CPU, until they remade the map and improved graphics which was too much for my iGPU to handle and the game ran at about 24-34 fps. So yeah, modern hardware shouldn't have a trouble doing better.

As a Linux user I have to disagree. When I use my PC as a "normie" I usually use around 1.6GB RAM. Sure, if you used a ligher DE like XFCE or LXDE you'd bring it down but not by a lot. And again, if you don't have a dedicated GPU you'll need even more RAM. Don't get me wrong, you can get by with 1GB but you'd have a severely limited choice of software and desktop environments.

It is. Anything over that for normal use that is placebo. The only worthy upgrade from 8GB would be getting 128GB or 256GB and making a RAMdisk. But that's retarded now that SSDs exist.

I use a 1700X with 8GiB. Fuck off idiot

i used a computer with 512mb ram and a amd duron cpu a while ago and it could run firefox with multiple tabs. might not work well without ublock tho.

no, we're still laughing at you for how much you paid

Funny thing is, my t60 only has 1gb and is off that chart. Still works fine.

Living the poor NEET dream...

That image is so baity, so poorly designed and so out of place in this thread that I actually pity you. If you were expecting (you)s from buttmad Sup Forums users from that bait, you were wrong. The only (you) you're getting is mine, which i am using to tell you how shitty and poor your post is. Go back to your fucking subreddit mid before I reach my hand through the inter-tubes and grab you by the neck to bring your pathetic, zit-covered neckbeard face right into my kneecap. Bitch.

>tfw the cheapest comparable ram you bought a year and a half ago is 10 bucks cheaper and only comes in red

dem timings

I'll bite, i have 8Gb on my PC because i don't need VMs, i have a server for that with Jails and while that server has 12Gb it doesn't use more than 10Gb except when doing batch jobs, but there's no problem with that because those jobs are expected to take a long time and are done overnight so it doesn't matter if my server has 12Gb or 20Gb.

...

Wow.

What kind of boat anchor do you have running CentOS with the 3.10 kernel? That's ridiculous.

Are you a Samsung, Hynix, and Micron shill?

Get triggered faggot.

No, but as a dev who works with TB scale* databases not even I need more than 32GB for test. Prod has 256, but test just needs enough for a single user workload as the tests run, and SSDs are quick enough to keep up.

*A handful of TB isn't crazy and I'm not bragging, just putting down some context.

I own 32GB ram and didn't regret it. I work a lot with tmpfs though.
One of the reasons I bought that much RAM in 2012 when I upgraded my PC is that the last PC which used DDR RAM just wasn't upgradeable anymore when I needed more RAM. At that time DDR RAM prices were unjustifiable high because it was already superseded by DDR2 and DDR3 RAM. That's why I went with the maximum RAM with the next PC.

What about 20GB?

This, I'm not going to accomodate lazy developers that allow their programs to be shameless RAM whores. I'm also not going to line the pockets of RAM manufacturers after they just price gouged the shit out of the market by wasting their memory on mobile devices.

Shit OP.

You can't get 6gb sticks of DDR4, so you can't get dual channel 12gb.
Misleading other retards isn't funny.

can comfirm, 2x8GB DDR4 @2400MHz bought for $65 last September

4*4 + 2*2. And it's been possible for a decade now to run two mismatched sticks in dual channel mode. Even my old Socket A board can do it somewhat.

>4*4
I meant 4*2

> 2x8Gb @ 3200Mhz
using around 8gb, i would like to increase it, so i could run something like a ramdisk or something. But the memory prices are crazy right now...

I have 6 GB of ram. What am I missing out guys?
I also have a 4 GB swap partition that is never in use, so pls guys explain to me what I am missing.

4-2-4-2

you fucking retard.

Nothing really

My system was fine with 16GB even while using a VM with GPU passthrough. (4GB Host+ 12GB Guest).
Only reason I upgraded to 24GB RAM was so I can have some more headroom for host if a VM is running and allocate a full 16GB to guest. Even then, it is overkill for most tasks.

I have 8gb and browsers sometimes run out of memory, I wish I had 16gb

>I'm a NEET

just get 8 and 4 then?

>tfw poorfag that has only 1GB RAM

I needed 32GB for deep-learning / CUDA toolkit. Running a large seq2seq lstm neural network with one-hot encoding inputs means that the arrays are usually hundreds of dimensions deep. It's pretty standard for my software to use 22-25GB of memory with 7GB of video memory as well. I've been moving to embedding layers since they're more efficient but they also have their limitations.

Unless you're doing serious stuff you don't need 16GB or 32GB.

I'm not a weeaboo neet and I'm not afraid that Windows might steal my data, then I don't need VM to run a supposedly safe OS like Linux.
For everything I do, 8 GB RAM is more than enough. For most people even 6 GB are fine.

Wait wait don't tell me, you've got nothing to hide, right?

I paid $60 for mine, it was a special deal.

I'm a filthy third worlder.
