>no dont buy 32 GB of ram >there is never any good reason

So what are you doing exactly?

3 VMs open, some adobe sw, visual studio, and gta5 minimized? I don't think that would even be enough to crack it.

>>59973971
i need to run a ramdisk of at least 8 gigs for dolphin texture packs

>>59973797
but anon
I do have 32GB

No uninstall that shit and get a PDF viewer that needs less than 16gb ram.

>>59974076
well i need it apparently

You probably shouldn't be doing climate modeling or quantum physics simulations on your desktop machine.

>>59974117
>doing any of that on a CPU clocked that low

not gonna happen

>hesistant about buying x86 cpu (46-tag bits)
>/g/ tells me its fine
>mfw I'm limited to 8TB of ram

Fuck all of you guys

>>59974011
Well maybe you can add another 8gb dimm and settle on 24gb. But you should have taken that into account if you knew before hand.

>>59974207
i didnt when i was building it actually who know a texture pack for an emulator of a system with less than a gig of ram would need so much

>>59974253
What texture pack are you even running that's 8gb in size?
Besides, it's a pretty obscure usage and seems weird that an SSD wouldn't be fast enough for it.

>>59974331
its for win waker actually and nope even with an SSD it causes awful stuttering and cachng it in ram takes somwhere over 24 gigs all together using the ram disk was the "workaround"

>>59974366
Are you running cemu or dolphin and what cpu do you have. If your CPU isn't decent enough you're gonna have stuttering no matter what my guy.

>>59974666
i am running dolphin and itws an i7 6700k

Good, you've finally learned something useful.

Wasting 50% of ram for upscaled Nintendo® games. 16gb of ram isn't the problem

>>59974778
i mean i could just play it on my hacked wii but this looks better

>>59973797
Its almost like you should review your own use case before making hardware purchasing decisions instead of blindly trusting a bunch of retards on the internet.

Obviously fucking NEETS that only watch animé and browse porn sites won't need 16GB

Android dev easily swallows 32GB
>several instances of android studio - 4-8GB easily
>Android WM - 2GB
>Browser with 40+ tabs (since I need plenty of resources for my work simultaneously) 3GB
>Slack, Spotify eat 2GB for some reason

And I haven't even started any sidework

>>59974711
Ryzen(tm) 8 core 16 thread CPUs don't have this problem.

>>59973797
I agree. I would upgrade to 32gb but prices are too high for laptop.

>>59974895
its not the CPU tard it works greatb with the ramdisk

>>59973797
are you fucking retarded? mostly /g/ recommends to buy whatever the fuck you need. i have 1.7GB in my desktop and 2GB on my netbook.

when i was working, i had a workstation to do cfd stuff and had 8GB but would had been nice to have 32GB
