>>58637279

>>58637066

My station at work has 16GB of ram of which 14GB is used under normal workload.
I'm not sure what I would do if I only had 8GB of ram.

>>58637280

theres more going on than just those 5 apps. If you closed all those 5 apps, you'd still probably be using around 2GB of RAM. You didn't do your research into how much RAM you'd need.

soz bro, better luck next time

what happens when you hit your ram limit? does your computer just start going really slow? or does it blow up? srs

Whatever, if you actually work with your computer, 5gb/thread or 10gb a core is the minimum amount reasonable people choose

>>58637402
It starts swapping. Contents of RAM that were accessed least recently get dumped to the hard drive and loaded from there if they're required again. On Linux, this is acheived by means of a swap partition, whereas Windows uses a single file for that (pagefile.sys).

>>58637384

wow, it's almost like people need different amounts of RAM for different use cases

why is there this attitude of "my use case is the only use case in existence/my use case is the only one that matters and everyone else is a pleb" on /g/

why are programs using more RAM? the more complicated programs get youd think it would be the processor that would need an upgrade. How 8GB is not enough for some peeps is cray

>>58637066
>Not even 50% usage

I don't see the problem. You said you have like 15 tabs open and Firefox still isn't even using a full GB.

What do you WANT to do that you don't have enough RAM for?

You know your computer will operate just fine even if you use up to like 90% of your RAM, right? And if you're barely scraping 4GB during normal use I don't see how you could run into problems. Most AAA games don't even use 4GB of RAM.

So what's the issue? Or are you just sperging out because your RAM usage is over 25%?

>>58637495
okay your right anon bottom line is i NEED MORE RAM any recommendations the one i have currently is single 8 gig ddr3

Yea I ignored everyone and shelled out for 32GB. I do video editing and the like and everyone I talked to were swearing 16GB is overkill let alone 32. Whatever. Shit was cheap. $70 per 16GB kit. If you have the money, buy more ram. Who gives a fuck. Serves you right for listening to /g/ in the first place.

Do the retards of /g/ not realize programs are made to use the ram you have? Firefox would use less memory if you had less ram. If you buy more ram then you being the autist you are is going to notice that 600 jumping to 800 and panic again.

Because the people here have superiority complexes that they can only manifest in retarded shit like computer components because they're socially retarded and have accomplished next to nothing.

So they go with the only thing they've ever been remotely competent with, the computer they spend 14 hours a day on.

Cause some fucktard at Mozilla decided at one point that they're going to stop making 64-bit Firefox builds for Windows.

>>58637818
cause some software don't have 64bit versions (which should be a crime) for example like discord.

Just recompile it for 64-bit.
Oh wait, you can't, because it's proprietary garbage.

>>58637908
And what vastly superior open source alternative do you propose, there, Captain Faggot?

>>58637913
Please don't use the word "alternative"
It subtly implies that proprietary software is acceptable.

>>58637923
Way to dodge the question, Beardo.

>>58637552
If you can't buy the exact same 8 GB stick, just sell it and buy a 2x8 set. Mis-matched RAM usually doesn't work out.

>>58637957
Hes breddy gud, let him continue

>>58637957
There can't be an alternative to proprietary software but if you're looking for something SIMILAR, I suggest the XMPP protocol.

>>58637985
Sure there can.

Photoshop > GIMP
MS Office > Open Office
3DS Max > FreeCAD

And have fun talking to fucking nobody with XMPP since chat programs are only useful if people actually use them, and since linux has no fucking games there's literally no reason for gamers to use some shitty linux chat system.

>>58638042
XMPP is not a "Linux chat system".

Ive had 16 gigs since like 2011, if you still run 8gigs you're probably some kind of impoverished peasant.

Windows 10 uses 2gb of ram.
Steam uses .5 gb of ram.
Firefox uses 1 gb of ram I believe while chrome uses more

8gb is enough, what people don't tell you is how much of it will be used before playing games. 12gb of ram should definitely be enough.

>>58638547
As far as I can tell, Windows is designed to use it and some programs will fail without it.
