I have 64 and I have rarely ever used as much as 16.

you must have correctly moved on from Chrome

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Haven't used Chrome since the Windows 7 days.

I regularly use over 16-24GB of my 32 GB, and considering I just had to replace 4 8s with 2 16s, I'm honestly kinda tempted to get another pair just to have knowing the shit that's coming down the pipe.

That’s reassuring, gotta make sure I take care of mine. The pc market has been too messy the last few years.

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Yeah, by the time it becomes an issue you'll be ready to upgrade anyway. There are few use cases for as much RAM as I have. I only bought it to fuck around with VM's. I'm probably skipping ddr5 and am5 so you're in good company.

I also have 64, but I've seen up to 34 in use a couple times. I could have stayed with 48gb, but the timings/cas latency was much better on the 64gb kit, than running mismatched sizes across 4 slots

I just remembered I did use up to 63GB once. Thanks memory leak.
