I don't understand why the fuck you would buy more RAM than you actually need, if you're fine with 8gb then it's fine, upgrading is perfectly painless since there are multiple memory slots so there's no money wasted in upgrading.
I used to have 8gb but UE4 editor really needs more than that so I simply bought more RAM.

Buying an ITX board with only 2 slots.

Is it better to just buy 1x16gb now and add another 16gb stick down the road? For future proofing.

Or spend the same money on a fast 2x8gb kit?

Just seems if I get the 2x8gb kit now, I won't be able to upgrade later without having to replace both sticks and losing the cost of that(considering losing that $, could just buy 2x16gb now instead).

4GB RAM for Facebook machine and really old games up to 2010 +office software and emulation software for older Operating systems

8GB RAM for older games 2010 -2016 and lighter photo editing and general use.

16GB some heavy 1080p video editing and light 4k + 16TB SSD (yes this is the minimum for that scale of SSD) and advanced general things

32GB RAM enthusiast market general 4k editing and general 4k shit

I've left out auto cad because it can run on 1GB just fine on its own with original version win98 edition one the 2016 version uses 12GB its a odd number so... yeah.

Nigga if you said udk i'd agree, the closest thing a game can get using more than 4gb is either the editing tools or build in bake renderer.

Even some games still runs on a 32bit memory limit environment even though it states 64bit engine.

Last thing i hit more than 4gb was udk with shit tons of static objects. Ue3 crashes when it hits memory limit and being buggy as hell during baking.

For gaming current ? 8 is more than enough, so is the next 5 years.

>/g/, technology
>telling people 4 or 8GB is enough in every single RAM thread

Also heres a pro tip in case you never used Microshaft Wangblows 7, 8.1 or 10:
>it needs more than 4GB RAM

You LITERALLY can not run Windows and a couple of programs lag free with only 4GB so why the fuck do you keep spreading misinformation like a braindead child?
Hell, Windows 7 alone eats about 2GB RAM (which is still less than Win10), even more when Microsoft decides to do shit with your OS in the background, rendering your PC completely unusable for even normie facebook browsing once they decide its a good time to download and install updates in the background for example.

People like you are just the fucking worst. If you cant relate to what Im talking about then you should maybe set up a VM with 4Gb of RAM and use it for a couple of months.

Your board will probably die before your rams with the jam packed internals no matter how much cable job you've done,
Just get 2x8gb and thats it.

Ive been using small htpc builds that i actually game on them, most have the boards dies right after warranty and they're the usual big brands.

Now i just use low budget boards which i can replace easily as expendable parts.

I understand that you have no idea about RAM usage, but here is what I measured (aka "numbers I did not just make up", like some other people ITT)

>16Gb
>VM for safety / learning purposes (currently learning about reverse engineering potentially harmful programs)
>Firefox (24 tabs)
>music player
>Notepad++
>Everything in background
>Skype because normie friends refuse to switch
>Steam in the background
>GW2 in background because PvP queues

Sitting at 9GB RAM usage.
Now lets launch Witcher 3 ON TOP of all the shit thats already running.
It bumps me to 11.8GB RAM used.
Lets launch Wolfenstein the new Order ON TOP of all that and it bumps me to: 13.6

Your arguments about "old games need 8GB RAM and newer games need 16GB" is factually incorrect.

It isn't a meme! It's fucking dirt cheap. The price difference is nothing, you might as well get 16GB of RAM.
>>
>>55534351
This. Ram is a dime a dozen now a days. Even ddr4. Local store has ddr4 kits ranging from 2400-3400mhz. The 8GB kits are usually less than $10 cheaper than their 16GB counterparts. Really no reason not to and if the $7-$11 difference is really breaking the bank, you have other problems that should be handled first.

I'm a happy camper if I never see my RAM usage at 100%, because if it it's, my PC is lagging.

RAM is like, 2 bucks a GB. There's no reason to shortdick yourself unless the build has a very specific usage that you know won't exceed a certain amount. Buy what you can afford at the time of the build.

> implying you should buy inferior parts that will be obsolete faster

RAM, like PSUs, cases, or cables,, are investments that can be reworked into builds for years to come. Don't buy cheap shit.

Wait a moment... Are there people who really think you don't need 16gb of RAM for enthusiast machines? 8gb does work fine for general purpose use but when I'm gaming, running VMs, or doing anything else that's intensive I find myself wishing I had 16.

8gb is solid if you're a run of the mill person who just uses your PC for social media, web browsing, and maybe typings something but it has quickly become too little for anyone who multitasks and pushes their machine in the slightest.
