    I went with 64GB on my most recent build… partially because it will eventually be retired to be a server, partially because last time i did a new build with brand new RAM, RAM prices skyrocketed (tsunami hit Taiwan IIRC, but still) immediately afterwards

        I’ve actually been considering using 128gb recently. I’m only considering this as I’m thinking about turning a server of mine into my primary desktop and it has 128gb in it already because I was using a RAM disk to generate large files in memory. I’m now done with that project and it feels silly having this powerful PC sitting here doing nothing.

    Why is that in my personal laptop chrome works like shit and in my work laptop it works wonders?! The only difference between them is that in y professional laptop we have thousands of different security apps. It’s almost like chrome is shit because it invades u your computer like a virus lol

    I have 32GB and for most of what I do, which is normal desktop stuff and gaming, and occasionally messing with VMs, it’s fine if not overkill.

      I once had a machine with 4mb of ram. Was fine for Word 5.5 and Windows 3.1. Needed a boot disk to run Doom. Upgraded to 8mb and it was fine, if not overkill.

      Son, have you tried just pulling your computer up by its boot straps and telling it that it only needs 8mb of ram because that was fine 35 years ago? /s

    I remember not long ago showing my linux desktop on reddit and everybody was going crazy because I was still using Firefox and Chrome is the browser to use nowdays and all that crap, I guess times have changed for the better, and yes I still use firefox

      I started to use firefox back in 2007.

      I have never changed back. If someday there’s a better alternative I’d switch. But sure thing that chromium based browsers are not an alternative.

    I bought two double rank 16gb sticks so I had the option of 64gb later, but with zero page file I have not had a single issue. I also horde tabs when online shopping, but I use extensions to prevent them from loading until selected. Still, never even been over 25gb in daily use and gaming. I also have a 3090 though so that 24gb vram soaks up a lot.

      It gets even better when you add:

      Tab Stash

      And

      Auto Tab Discard

      Tab Stash lets me stash a big ridiculous research or shopping session I’d want to return to, under a nice collection label for later.

      And Auto Tab Discard will essentially unload open tabs you haven’t touched in a while, so they’ll load from scratch when you “wake them up”, but they’re not hogging all your RAM. It’s fantastic.

      I was really hesitant to switch to Firefox. It took a long time for me to finally leave the Mozilla suite and accept that Firefox was the one going forward.

    Run our of RAM, apparently.

    A few containers, a bunch of IDE windows with large work spqces and a dozen or two browser tabs add up. At least I can follow my “workflow” of doing three things at more or less the same as time
