well, i program
and i do numbercrunching
so im gonna eat through any amount of ram youre gonna give me
but if i were to do normalthings only
then like i said
that would be video editing. thats the most normal thing that comes to my mind
but even without considering even that
ram makes all of your shit snappier. because your OS pre-emptively caches alot fo shit to avoid having to do that in an inopportune moment
but "caching" in this context means your os puts shit in your hard drive which then means you get it back at the speed of said hard drive
in case you dont know
the whole computation thing works by taking data physically from a point a to a point b which is the gpu or the cpu
the data physically is moved from place to place and thats why its important to consider where the data resides.
it takes longer to fetch data from a hard drive than from ram. and the difference is big
if you want comfumaxxing
you need big ram
its essential because thats where all the other components of your computer get their data from
if they need to get their data from a hard drive instead everything becomes slow
ram is really a convenience measure
and its fucking cheap, you have no excuse to stand on your position, anon
just fucking buy ram. let your system breathe
too little ram devaluates the rest of your system bc everything else runs slower
