I have ECC on mine. Still freezes to shit every now and then, although it's nothing to do with the RAM.
Anyway, both your motherboard and CPU needs to support ECC. In my case it's unbuffered (which should be most cases).
ECC is a bit complicated, anon. But it's good for something which will be running 24/7.

Seriously how many of you fags edit videos all time time. Is it just some stupid meme?
What about all the other valid reasons for needing more than 16? Is it because you only know about "video editing", and think it's what you and a powerful computer for because you watch Linus tech tips?
>>55548803
As long as you have the money and patience to do backups to disk and shit, this is pretty much god-tier.

Doom doesn't use 12GiB of memory though.
It uses around 4-5GiB at most. You got a serious problem with your system bro.
The only game that uses that much system memory are Sandbox-stuff with loads of mods and all of the works.

True. I noticed it on my current 14 GB Machine. I work with FL-Studio, mostly with orchestral libraries and for recording Instruments. But now I'm about to upgrade to 32 GB (DDR4) of RAM because of all the lag I'm having when loading up to many instances of Kontakt ( which I can't avoid for my work).
