You must have taken that girl's picture when she reacted out of sheer disgust from seeing you.
Does this thread have any point other than you showcasing your faggotry and wasting people's time?
Not everyone needs 32gb of ram, some people can get by with 4, 6, or 8 just fine.

I have a friend that work as engineer for racing cars - he used 8 gb of ram until now and just now after lots of time he upgraded to 16 ram because he needs it for advance full time mathematics calculations... what do you need so much ram for?
>>54397775
You should look into that. Msconfig and disabled anything you don't need when the machine starts. Keep going through startup and services until that figure is 55-65.

Le Rainbow Tables meme snags another victim
brb, downloading 128GB of RAM.
I've got 16 because I can hit higher than 12gb.
I don't think I'll ever need to go above 16gb in the lifetime of this set of hardware however, so I'm happy. Hell, considering the fact I'm 25 now and don't work in an IT field nor do I manipulate massive resolution pictures/photos/videos (though I do occasionally edit recorded footage from my games, but that gets recorded at 1920x1080 anyway...) so I don't see anything I do suddenly jumping in needs.
By the time we're seeing stuff that takes 30gigs of RAM to run (because we no doubt will at some point in the future), I don't think I'll be interested in using that kinda stuff.
Who knows; maybe I'm wrong and maybe I will still be interested in it all, but I have been less and less interested as I become more and more serious with my partner.

29.8 GiB of RAM? Why such an arbitrary value?
>>54398159
That quote is EXACTLY why I mention the whole 30GB of RAM thing.
I'm not saying software won't become more and more bloated, that it won't also genuinely add features which take more and more space to run effectively; but I don't foresee myself using those types of software (which right now, its stuff like ultra high res image manipulation/creation, video editing/rendering, virtual servers and so on.)

I get where you're coming from, but you've also got to remember that when you grew up, computing was new to the masses and progress in CPU tech was MASSIVE with each generation.
Now computing has spread to every normie going (even if it is mostly mobile now) and the gains with each generation is fucking tiddly.
Now, that may sound like its inconsequential, but when you consider that with increased compute power, you can do more tasks - and more tasks means more memory filled, it makes sense that the needs for higher and higher amounts of RAM was rapidly increasing.
Now we're reaching a plateau in performance, I reckon we'll also see less need for more and more memory in the future. Sure, we'll need more - but not at the same rate as it was before.
>>54398326
I don't use it. I could go and enable it, but why bother enable it when you don't use it?
Same as the overclock thing.
Right now, I'm not using an overclock because while I COULD do it, I don't really do anything that needs it.
When I do need it, I'll do it.
>>54398267
I really don't understand why people say this.
Using a web browser, opening 50 tabs, and having a few other applications open, I tend to hover around 4 gigs ram utilization.
I haven't seen any substantial increase in my need for ram in 5 years. 8 gigs was more than enough then, and it's the same now.

The measure is Moore's law, and it hasn't been broken yet. Instead of trying to teach me to suck eggs, consider this: I might know something more from my last 37 years in the field than you. At the very least, lookit AI: a very processor and memory intensive task. If memory has plateaued, you're saying AI needs no more. Are you sure? Lookit gaming realism. The memory is not motherboard but daughterboard but more realism requires more memory. Are you saying it's not getting more realistic? In-browsers 3D rendering, same thing. We're not advancing any more? You're wrong about memory plateauing, and it'll take years before you realise it.
>>54398470
AI isn't advancing as quick as processing power did during the heyday.
Prove me wrong.
Prove to me that I'm not speaking sense and that people will NEED to have MUCH more memory within the next 10 years.

Your machine is just a Facebook machine. Here's my machine I don't actually use - it only uses 2 GB RAM
If I had a web browser going I assume it'd go up to like 4, just like your Facebook machine

25yo not your mental age, then?
>>54398715
That's still not 30GB, let alone 256GB.
I didn't say we no longer need higher amounts, but that I didn't think I would need higher than 16.
Even AT the predicted rate, you're looking at an increase of roughly 0.5 - 1GB per year.
over 10 years, that's anything from 5 - 10GB extra.
At 16GB, with the current average requirement being around 6-8GB for most things, I'd still be sitting comfortable enough on 16GB.
Check, fucking, mate.
And nice ad homiem.
>>54398774
So your argument is that 50-100% more memory is not "much" more memory. Such sophistry should do you well for a career in politics.
