FTFY
Nobody means you don't need more than 8 GB of RAM ever, you fucking retard.

>opening 50 instances of firefox to prove a point
Cute but desperate.

I regularly use between 20-40GB of RAM for my job, which I also do at home.
first things first chek'd
>want to load large sample libraries into RAM
>can't because I only have 8GB
don't listen to everything you hear on the internet
>>52910919
At my job I need to run two IDEs each running the Guidewire platform which comes with its own gosu compiler and oftentimes must be running two servers from there at once. All this eats up as much as 15gb of RAM on my 32GB beast.

>he's not running firefox on a RAMDisk
>>52910919
You NEED 8GB of RAM to run the unreal engine editor or it won't even start.
>>52910599
Everyone only says this for gaming builds. Everyone knows you need more ram for other things and heavy multitasking.
>>52910599
> all he does with his computer is shitpost, play games, and watch anime
Yeah you don't need more than 8GB
>>52910971
Are you running some VMs over there budday?
>>52911093

>>52910599
I had one chrome tab use 10+GB several times.
>>52910599
Windows will normally allot ~50% of your ram to anything just to try to make use of it. Unused RAM is wasted RAM ;^)
>>52911008
It's just Windows scaling. You don't actually need all that ram. It would run the same on 4GB.

Protip: The NSA needs your penis size to protect you from Terrorism.
>>52913019
They could have just asked for dickpics.
In all seriousness i'm more worried about the trends that will follow, like PhotoDNA. How long before they start enforcing copyright too, and how long before hardware starts refusing to install freetard software?
It's coming Anon, it's creeping over us slowly but surely.
>>52913119
But then you would know they are taking measurements of your penis. That would risk Terrorism.
>>52913203
As long as terrorism is dick related i don't care, the safety of dicks come first.
>>52913203
If you can hide your dick, you can hide something else. Too dangerous, a couple people might die.
>>52913119
Just drink your poison anon and quit complaining.

Opinion discarded.
Why wouldnt you buy more than 8gb of ram its fucking cheap as hell and will over all give smoother experience
>>52913649
RAM may be cheap, but they'll never be as cheap as me...
What in the fuck are you even using???
>>52910919
while playing gta5 and a few background things.

Tell that to Pro Tools.
I have 32 and will upgrade to 64 because I have money to burn and because after effects is a piece of shit.
>you may or may not need more than 8gb of RAM
Fixed your stupid shit, OP.
>>52910599
I just installed a windows 10 vm on a ramdisk for the heck of it
>>52910599
Upgrade to a newer version of Windows that manages RAM better senpaitachi

>8GB hardware reserved
Nigger, what the fuck are you doing?
If you have windows update enabled it will steal 1.9GB for it's stupid shit, observe one of your svchosts being a fat fuck and kill the bastard.

You can install w10 in just 10gb
>>52917008
Waste of 16 gb of ram
>>52911025
playing games =/= running engine editors
>>52910599
windows regulates the ram it uses - if it detects you have four gigs it's gonna use less; if it detects you have a lot of ram it's gonna use it more for caching
fucking dumbass
>>52916643
Probably a scratch disk

People don't understand this and are still running on XP logic
Just more proof that the average /g/ poster is tech illiterate
>You don't need more than 8GB RAM
I don't need more than 8GB of RAM.
>>52918730
i wish i had my xp screens showing a 200mb of ram used and nothing else.
Tgis is windows what were you expecting ?
>>52910599
