Gibibyte, it's the old definition and is based on 1024, not 1000. Modern measurement is based on 1000.

Why in the fuck would you use raid0? Do you not care about your data? I mean sure, with 850 pros there's very little chance of failure, but still.

Either way, I hope you keep proper backups. The speed you get through raid with 2 ssds is insane.
>>
>>52967262
What do you render. Cause the only time i saturated 8gb of RAM with AE was with a huge project with a lot of particle effects, many videos in raw, I fucked up in not dividing the project in smaller sections.
I often render 1+ hour videos in multi camera with color adjustments in premiere and with 8gb never had a problem.

I have 8gb and it's definitely not enough. Chrome already uses 5gb +1,5gb in swap.
And chrome already tries to behave and cache shit out to save ram.

>>52966298
Recently upgraded from 16 to 32, virtualization takes up a lot of ram.
>>
>>52972999
if the ram is there browsers will use it rather than writing hundreds of files to disk (hurting disk reliability on the long run) or redownloading them. if any other process needs the ram browsers will give it up.

measuring ram usage with browsers is cancer.

currently 8gb is "enough" for most single process usage (games), but given the quality of the ports lately and the hope that PC gaming wont be held back by consoles as much, 16 should be the norm now days.

32 is meme level, unless you are running VMs or some other specialized crap.

>>
>>52974416
Computers only operate on base-2. If you have 512MB of RAM and then install another 512MB, you won't magically have 1000 all of a sudden, it's 1024. It's impossible to have exactly 1000MB of RAM installed.
1000 is only for convenience, because in all instances where memory or storage are concerned, you are always working with multiples or divisions of 2 on the silicon level.
>>
Who cares. If you don't have enough RAM you can just torrent some more for free

>>52972154

1024 MB = 1 GB

I have yet to see any manufacturer call RAM a Gibibyte.

If we are going by OP standards, then you should call it:

17.18 GB of RAM

Nobody is going to change their terminology just because of a few autists.
>>
Why does everything have to be a multiple of 2?
In base 10 you can display any number , like 1000 if you want to.
In base 2, you can display any number too. 1000 would be 1111101000
So what's stopping them from making 1000 instead of 1000 megibit or whatever it is ??

>>52975979
>Nobody is going to change their terminology just because of a few autists.
they'll either have to update the JEDEC standard if/when RAM will be counted in TB, or just follow the IEC standard like they should.
JEDEC only has KB, MB, GB
it's a good thing it will be obsoleted soon, because calling 1024 kilo (literally 1000 based on greek) is a fucking cancer that should die
