Do do realize that no RAM goes unutilized OP? If it's not being partitioned for application use the remaining space is used for application and disk cashe, so it still does speed up your PC. But surely you're just memeing and are not that fucking retarded.
I'm quite the opposite, I fell for the "8GB is all you need meme", partially due to RAM prices, and looking to jump to 16GB. The problem is my old 2x4 kit will be useless to me.

>The problem is my old 2x4 kit will be useless to me. Did you seriously buy some Micro ATX / ITX board that has only 2 RAM slots?

Should've bough those RAM sticks a couple years ago. Last time I checked a couple months back the prices were double of what I paid for in 2015, for the same sticks. And the prices were doubled just recently then too.
