true, im a 2x48gb ramlet

>>106230588 (OP)
I only have 64GB and its been enough for like the last 5 years, but now I need more.
probably gonna upgrade to 256GB RAM.

>>106230588 (OP)
I have 128gb unified memory.

>>106230588 (OP)
My r630 has 512gb of ram, 256gb per cpu

actually just went to 256 on 8x32 on on a 12 channel mobo. will move to 384 soon as I'm already using 60% regularly.

>>106230588 (OP)
I have 128, but without the 8.

>>106230624
/g/ is not your gay bar

I still have 16. I've had 16GB RAM since 2013.

>>106230588 (OP)
i have 196 gb in g.skill ripjaws.
i did it solely to max out the motherboard's ram capacity.

>>106232544
but 256gb is the max

>>106232547
64gb dimms weren't always available

>>106232560
>>106232547
this. since i see 64gb are real now, i'll upgrade so i can run 256gb at over 8000+MT/s.

>>106230588 (OP)
unironically how is 16gb not enough for you all

>>106232977
for normal usage (browsing, programming, gaming, consume media, etc.) its fine, but for degenerated pederasts like >>106232597 who run local models, media "production", or any other coomer shit that amounts to nothing but waste of electricity, it might not be enough.

>>106230667
I'm curious anon, what do you run?
AI models cpumaxx, ZFS ARC cache, just moar programs?

>>106232436
I don't use troonix.

>>106233131
I browse like a granny, and leave thousands of tabs open. On a reboot and having just opened firefox without many tabs loaded, just the ones from last session, I'm already at 13gb. I also don't close firefox when I play games, and sometimes watch youtube while doing it. My memory usage goes up to 45gb at that point.

16gb is definitely not enough these days. 32gb should be the minimum.

>>106230612

>>106230588 (OP)
Use case?

>>106230588 (OP)
>Enjoy running your 4 Dimms with the worse timings imaginable sucks to suck i guess

>>106230588 (OP)
I have 64 and it's too much. 32 is the spot.

>>106233357
stop being a retard and know the limit of your hardware. you implied everyone has to commute 300 miles daily therefore we need mandatory 50 gallons tank for every car. maybe in a few decades, but not now, and definitely not for any sane person.

>>106233357
that's just how windows does things, if you had more ram it would keep even more for itself

>>106230588 (OP)
I do, though

>>106230588 (OP)
i dont because ddr5-rdimm is super expensive

I have 8GB and it's enough for me. This laptop originally had only 4 GB and it was fine for a while.
I added another card because I was worried about Krita not having enough memory for layers while drawing and because I want to play some older games.

>>106230588 (OP)
I only have 32GB, but I respect anyone who needs more.

>>106233211
I used to have a desktop and a server but now my main rig is just a server. my desktop is technically a VM with everything in passthrough. so yes, 64 gig ARC limit, some ram disks for media editing, a few other vm's in the background. 120-140 gets eaten quickly on a regular basis. I do find to alot of programs will take more ram if it's available.

>>106230588 (OP)
For what purpose?

>>106230588 (OP) (checked)
The human eye can't see beyond 32GB RAM, so what's the point?

>mfw still on 8G, with 1.5 reserved by the internal graphics
Everything works.

>>106232500
>I still have 16
Same.
>I've had 16GB RAM since 2013
2016, but always dual channel.

I close all my tabs, once I don't need them. I have only two open terminals running, except for the browser now, on this system.

I have 14GB of free memory still available.
The games I regularly play might rarely take up to 12GB of RAM (6-7GB usually maximum).

There are very few applications that actually need more than 16GB of data for a program to work on IN VOLATILE MEMORY, jfc, usually, it's because the user *wants* to use that much memory, if only out of convenience.

I'd probably upgrade to 32GB if I buy a new system, but if I'm going to save money, then I'd rather skip on that, tbf.
Also switching to Linux and not Windows, headless Debian 12 uses <250MB RAM after a fresh boot, LMDE on a 15-yo netbock uses <900MB RAM.

>BUY MORE STUFF
Yeah, yeah.

>>106230588 (OP)
If your MOBO supports 128, why not go 256 (because it probably supports that too)?

>>106230588 (OP)
Highest I've went at home so far was 512GB. DDR4 ECC 64MB DIMMs aren't too expensive used, but the price jumps dramatically for 128GB DIMMs. 512GB in DDR5 would be too expensive.

>>106235515
>There are very few applications
Okay, RAMdisks might be nice. But in the age of M.2 NVME SSDs and CPUs with massive L3 (or even L4), does it *really* make a difference?

AI applications and video editing is pretty much the only thing I can think of. Then there are science and engineering workstations, where you have to work with large data-sets.

>My game's loading time from 10s on SSD is now 1.5s on RAMdisk
Bruh.

>>106230588 (OP)
i do tho (was required for an old mmorpg server)

>>106234086
Maybe aid in running some local models. There are a few 256GB kits that are on my boards QVL, but I'm waiting on the lower latency DDR5-6000 kit from G.Skill that they announced a couple of months ago to be available before upgrading.

Lmao

Windows 12 comes with RAMglutton.exe, just so you can feel good about wasting your money.

>>106230588 (OP)
356gb is minimum in 2025.

never again.

Nigga I run VMs with more RAM than that. That said, having more than 64GB on a desktop is a mental illness

>>106235515
idk what people in this thread are doing,but in linux you have to run a ton of shit to run out of 16gb. like a dozen youtube apps, a dozen electron apps, and even more native desktop apps on top of that, a hundred tabs, etc.

right now i have brave with 2 dozen tabs, spotify, vscode, perplexity, obsidian, a few terminals, and 2 docker containers, and i'm only sitting at 10gb used.

I was considering 128gb but I didn't see a way to run 2x64GB @ 6000+ with
