How do I make programs use more memory? I have 16GB doing fucking nothing.
>>54925645
update them
>>54925645
Unless you play Minecraft it doesn't quiet matter
>>54925645
Find a way to have kb+m input sent to 2 duplicate vms.
>>54925645
>he fell for the 32GB meme
It's your own fucking fault for letting shills sell you shit you literally have no use for
>>54925645
Set up a ramdisk and use it for things that could make use of said ramdisk.
>>54925645
Running virtual machines will use that ram pretty quickly
>>54925674

chrome will find a way
>>54925645
Use spotify

Emulators

PS3/3DS emulators

Thanks for the suggestions. But I'm wondering how to make the programs I already have use more memory. Qbitorrent barely uses anything. Firefox barely uses anything.
>>54925645
If you're using a modern OS all of your RAM is being used for cache if not used by a program.
And why would a program magically want to use more ram just because you have more? You should be happy they know how to conserve to what they need

>I have 16 GB doing nothing
>I only have 16 GB
Well, my first suggestion would be turning your computer on. Then maybe we can start utilizing a bit more of it.
>>54925730
but OP said he wants to waste memory
>>54925775
Using more memory is not a good thing, programs like that are supposed to run with low memory efficiently. No one can help that your retarded and bought enough memory that literally no programs would use
>>54925791
Some programs are coded to use a certain amount of RAM but work better with more
>>54925645
I have 8GB, and I barely use 40% of it.
>>54925645
you dont do 3d modelling or CAD?
>>54925800
>>54925804
This. Run After Effects and watch your RAM disappear, but you'll never get Your text editor to use anything meaningful.
yes | yes
Think newer games will require more than 8GB? I've been thinking of upgrading to 16GB.
>>54925645
Most free RAM is not actually free. OS uses it for buffers and caches, which makes your whole computing experience faster.
>>54925645
Make fractals
>>54925830
>you'll never get Your text editor to use anything meaningful
What if you use Atom?
>>54925863
Probably since they continue to up their needs
>>54925863
Modded games can use 4-8GB alone. KSP with 80 mods uses like 6GB
>>54925874
Not him, but how do?
Do actual work on your computer?
>have 32gb RAM
>use Photoshop and several other image editing programs at once
>start stacking on layers in PS
>memory usage at 67%
It was a meme until I figured out what the hell I was doing in Lightroom and PS.
One interesting thing I did notice was when I punched out my E545 Thinkpad from 4gb to 16gb it used the HDD a lot less for swap and ran almost exclusively off the memory which was pretty cool. I could run a bunch of programs at once if I wanted to and only use max 10gb of it.
16gb may be a meme but with memory prices as cheap as they are, why the hell not. I remember paying 400 dollars for Corsair XMS 1gb DDR400 2-2-2-5 with the LEDs on the top back in the XP days.
>>54925830
Text editor no but any Java app yes.
how to use more ram??? :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
>how do I make it use more memory
>le 32 GB meme
Lusers pls. Ever heard of tmpfs? My programming experience is 9001% better now. I can run multiple VMs.
You'd have to be a pathetic ricer faggot in order to think more memory is somehow bad.

>how can I force a program to use more resources than it needs
Don't post on my or my wife's son's board ever again you fucking mongoloid.
>>54925954
You god damn fucker.
Anon, you are retarded. Programs only use what they need, forcing them to allocate more doesn't mean they will use more. If you want to do something productive with your RAM, run servers on VMs and learn how computers actually work.
>>54925954
>Cached: 7.1GB
What does this mean? Programs that have reserved memory and may/may not need it?
>>54926005
Depends on the program anon
I haven't restarted my computer in weeks. I am currently using 11 GB of ram. what do
>>54926075
Start by apologizing to your computer
>>54925992
You mad bro?
>>54925645
Go play DCS World in multiplayer and watch how it uses most of your ram.
>>54925645

Who installs RAM on one side of the CPU?

Please die
>>54925709
fuck that 64GB meme
96GB is the only correct answer
>>54926177
thank you for saying this
>Fell for the 16gb RAM meme
I know that feel.
>buy 16 GB for new computer
>only use 2 GB at best
>>54926320
>>54925645
I have nothing heavier than chrome open and I'm using about 11GB
>>54925645
lol kill yourself
>He got excess ram and still wants to use all of it
The entire point of 16 gigs Is for doing multiple things in the background without lag
You fell for the "I really need 16gb when 8 will more than suffice with the vast majority of games"
>being this much of a chode
