[–] vinceman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 years ago* (1 child) All I do is game and stream, occasionally edit some photos and 32GB is the minimum for me now. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] locuester@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 years ago* Yeah, this is pretty much what I thought. So I don’t understand why people are pretending that eight or 16 is going to cut it. Maybe they are just happy purposefully limiting usage due to a constraint that they don’t realize is easy to raise. I like to have 3 4k monitors and four desktops and 10 chrome tabs opened on each one along with SQL stuff and a half dozen vscode windows, and a full visual studio or 2, wsl2 running with a dozen docker containers, plus all of the collaboration programs like Telegram and Discord. And I don’t like to close any of that down when I go play flight simulator. So the extra couple hundos is nothing so that I can be sure to never run out of ram. permalink fedilink source parent
