I know this is bait but even 8gb of RAM for the ITX build I just made for my mom is overkill. Facebook eBay and Netflix don't need no 8 gibibytes of ramerino. She definitely doesn't need no God damn 16 giberygoops in that bitch.

Yeah whatever...

I've been using 2gb ddr2 since 2006 and theres been very few instances where I felt I needed more.

>>52938846
Depends on OS anon. Win10 eats like 6gb.

>>52938846
Does she open lots of tabs? RAM is cheap, and provides great bang for your buck in terms of user experience.

>>52939137
What do you use your computer for?

>>52939162
what in the actual fuck are you doing to your windows 10 install? Jesus christ, I've never seen mine go over 2gb when nothing else is running.

>>52939206
Are you sure you're not reading that as ram free? Clean install, no applications running. Everything using ram is Windows built-in.

>>52939162
win10 uses 1.6-1.7gb, just like windows 7 and windows 8 i dont know what crack you're smoking

>>52939162
3.2GB with 10+ Chrome tabs. When you give it 32GB to work with, it will use 6GB, since it will pretty much load everything in RAM to make it faster. Are you actually buying RAM to not use it or something?

ive got 24gb

If I have 12 GB can I just get more

>>52938725
The computer I built in 2009 had 4GB, then I upgrade to 8GB 2 years later. But that turned out to be insufficient. When I built my current computer last year I put in 32GB instead of 16GB because I figured I would need more. And that actually turned out quite true. Which I would have gone with 64 GB though for those few times I need to run multiple virtual machines for developing.

Why would I buy more ram then I'm using? I have 12gb ram in my PC and I rarely go higher than 10.

I just upgraded my desktop from 4 to 6GB, pretty satisfied. My next computer will have 32GB ECC RAM, but that's because I'll be replacing my desktop with a VM on my next VM server

>>52942224
You'd used more if you're having it

>using old desktop
>1GB
>can't find cheap DDR1 RAM

Feels bad man.

>>52942238
And why exactly? Most of my ram goes up to vm's. They have a fixed size of ram usage

>>52942246
>buy 8x1GB RAM from china because cheap
>half the modules are either 512MB or 256MB, rest just didn't work

>>52942228
What kind of CPU are you intending to have in it? I've been considering doing a OpenSUSE kvm host hosting a pci passthrough windows VM for gaymen. But my 6 core intel CPU doesn't really cut it when I have to dedicate 2 cores to the host. I'm considering buying an Intel EE with 8 cores but that one is just too expensive to justify at the moment. And the server processors with 12 cores and more are just clocked too low.

>>52942318
I want it to be an mITX build so I was considering an Atom C2750. None of my VMs really require power, I'd be good with Atom N270 power for most of these VMs

Lies. It clearly states 63.9GB. Enjoy your cheap Chinese RAM.

I practically never use more than 2 gigs of the 8 I have.

The only cases where 8GB has not been enough for me are CFD simulations and point cloud data.

Eh i'm getting 8 gigs for free soon. But i plan on buying 16 for fun later this year.

I got 16GB of ram in my last build; no regrets. Next build will be 32GB, because why the fuck not. Looking forward to 3DXPoint shenanigans in the near future.

And to all the people wondering why Windows is eating all your ram, it's because Windows uses something called Superfetch, it fills up a percentage of your ram with cached shit to make things run faster. I almost never see my ram usage dip below 25%.

Nice try OP. My main box has 2GB of RAM, and runs flawlessly.

It's a headless filesever.

The TV box has 4GB, but only becuse I had a discarded 4GB sodimm for it.

12GB is the sweet spot right now.

Oh god, too many people here who wasted money on buying RAM they didn't need.

If you don't know how much RAM you need, then just get 8GB. If you needed more, you'd know how much to get because at that point you have some really specific use case that doesn't apply to anyone but you.

The amount doesn't matter, it's about how the OS uses it.

>>52947006
Your page file is too small. Are you low on disk space?

>>52947021
no the amount definitely matters when you're doing activities that load into the ram lol

I use FL studio with samples. a lot of samples.

>>52939137
Unused ram is wasted ram amirite, the less ram the more optimized the os amirite.

>>52947060
This isn't true, because the OS behaves a different way when less free RAM is available. For example with Android it force closes programs to free up RAM that is needed. This is as you say, but it makes for a horrible user experience. Windows will warn when this condition is happening.

Be honest OP, you were simply looking for an excuse to use the word 'ramlet'

I think you can separate the temp files and put them on a separate drive.
