could you please post you memory usage by "app"?

>>61035372
you really only do need 8 gigs of RAM, at least for Windows 7 or Linux.

You only need 16 GB of RAM if you never wanna close any applications ever. Just close your fucking browser when you play phat games.

nobody needs more than 256kb ram

I open matlab and CAD to work simultaneously with them. Not even 5gb is used

>>61035888
Unity+3DS Max+Browsers easily takes more than 8GiB

Android studio alone when building takes more than 8GiB

>>61035443
>Should quit job

No, I need this software for work. I like getting paid, so I'm going to keep using it.

Close browser tabs when you're done with them instead of leaving 1000 open.

ime amount you need also depends heavily on if your storage.
I have a laptop and a desktop with pretty comparable processors and 8 gigs of similarly clocked ram, but the desktop has a hard drive and the laptop has an SSD, so the ram is always full of cached shit on the desktop, and when it needs to swap it slows to a crawl.

>Android studio
I've ran Android Studio before (not full-time deving, but I've had to do some stuff) on 8GB and didn't notice any real issues. It's bloated trash, but still.

>Unity+3DS Max+Browsers
This is professional workstation-tier stuff, 8GB is not enough for that. That said I've worked with Unity and I'm not spending a lot of time with 3DS Max open in the background, but then again I'm not an artist.

When making tech decisions, do the opposite of what /g/ recommends, always.

For the record, /g/ highly recommends:
>Linux on the desktop
>8gb of RAM
>AMD processors
>Using ancient, poverty-level Thinkpads as a daily computer
>CRT monitors
>Anime wallpapers
>Android phones

Knowing all of this, you still take their advice on anything? That's your own damn fault.

>>61037433
Also, remember that /g/ is 95% NEETs with no career aspirations beyond maybe becoming paid moderators of their favorite private hentai torrent tracker. You shouldn't listen to them on basic life advice like "How often should I brush my teeth?", let alone tech questions.

FUCKING RAMLET NORMIES GTFO MY BOARD REEEEE

>>61037479
Hey look, an autist

>>61035372
2.5 gb of ram masterrace.

being a ramlet in 2017 is like.. not brushing your teeth because you don't want to pay the extra 12-14 dollars for the tooth brush and toothpaste at cvs

its honestly hilarious, I put 16gb of ram in my x220 and it totally fixed it and some dude told me no it was the ssd not the ram. Shit doesn't even have an ssd, I WENT FROM 4GB OF RAM NOT BEING ABLE TO DO ANYTHING to 16gb and absolute butter smoothness

To be honest I regret spending the extra 30$ on RAM for my new build. Wish I got 8gb instead.

>>61035372
>16 GiB RAM
Are you fucking retarded, son?
You'd best be installing at least 1 TiB of RAM in your next Epyc build.

>>61036691

Try working on a project with way too many dependencies including facebook. When compiling I almost max out the 16 GiB haha

>>61036691
One alone would be fine, both I hit the limit.

>>61037433
>That's your own damn fault.
You're absolutely correct.

>>61037543
What are the specs of the rest of your computer?

>>61035372
I got 12 gigs of ram

>>61037549
>not 4

>>61037433
There's literally nothing wrong with anything you've listed.

>>61038479
He's not saying there's anything wrong, just that it aligns with a certain taste he does not enjoy.

>>61038509
Oh, well he could have just came out and said he was a homosexual.

>>61035888
I need the ram so I can look at many power points, PDFs, books, chrome pages at the same time

>>61035372
I regularly pause games to browse 4Chan which mean 2-3h of idle while I have 30 tabs open in firefox, when I'm reading something long stopping after few pages and leaving it be for hours isn't anything unusual either, having one or two videos paused or even playing in the background is also daily thing, I do all of this at once with 8gb ram, having attention span of a 12yo adhd kid suck but windows still never really use more than 6gb ram. So yeah unless you're actually doing some ram intensive stuff 8gb ram for home pc is more than enough, and if you're doing ram intensive stuff welcome to 1% of people who actually need +32gb ram and 16gb won't really cut it or a least not for long.
