Just so you know, it is incorrect English to use "whom" as a subject, which you have done three times. The only real exception would be when you're talking about the word itself, as in "'whom' is a terrible word to use here."

500Megs ~1GB - Linux/BSD under i3/Awesome/Openbox ~ casual browsing and file management

4GB - Linux/BSD/Win7/older OSX mountain lion/OSX Lion ~ for regular browsing, programming, light applications and simple games

8GB - Any OS ~ modern resource hungry games, running multiple 2GB or lower VMS or 4GB VMs for a more realistic scenario,programming, and small RAMdisks

The kernel will (ab)use all application allocated RAM for disk cache and other things. There is no such thing as unused RAM in a system that's been on more than an hour or so. More is therefore a lot better than less.

>>59814485
Exactly.

32 GB is perfect. 64 would be nice for my next build because it's more than I have now. Going from 32 GB RAM to .. 32 GB RAM doesn't feel much like an upgrade.

i'm on 16gb right now thanks to ryzen no likey faster than 2666mhz at 32gb or more and its really limiting me in multitasking. i like to run my games in window mode, and having a 4k gsync screen, i can easily get away running a game at 1920x1200 and a web browser with 20+ tabs opened at once, with discord, steam, battle.net, foobar2000, and a few youtube tabs running all at the same time easily... except one issue. ram. a few times i've had windows pop up its low memory error asking me to close out of a few applications to prevent windows from auto closing programs to prevent a crash.

games these days use a lot of ram. a lot of people underestimate how much ram games will chug down when given the chance. battlefield 1 easily uses around 7.5-8gb alone. fallout 4... fallout 4 by itself with mods will eat 10-13gb of ram. with my collection it uses about 12gb. then add in a firecucks or botnet chrome session with 20+ tabs, a few with youtube vids playing, and you can easily add another 2-3gb of ram there.

so i recommend 32gb.

>>59817296
yeah 32GB is not as much as people think. i have to close my browser if i want to run cemu.
