FEATURED How much RAM does your primary computer have installed? [>2012]

hokiealumnus · Jan 28, 2012

8GB & 16GB. I use the 8 more often, so that's the option I chose.

Added featured tag too. Good idea.

EDIT - Janus' post reminded me, I use 4GB for benching except on SNB-E, where 16G quad-chan gives a slight advantage.

8 gig in my main rig, 4 in my secondary, 4 in my laptop.

still have a old IMB 286 with 256k lol how things have changed!

At least, when I got my 16GB, RAM was dirt cheap.

And right now, the 8GB sticks are not so much more expensive than the 4GB packs, and you never have enough RAM.

4gb is enough for me

I picked up a 6gig kit for $34.99 at a Micro Center. I also seen 8 gig kits for $29.99.

With the overall low cost. It's going to be normal having large amounts of RAM now.

You betcha it's overkill me having 9 gigs of RAM. Why not..

Scrub206 · Jan 28, 2012

8 gigs!

kraven · Jan 28, 2012

I'm still at 4gb. I haven't upgraydd(ed) in awhile and don't plan on a new build until Q3 or 4 of this year.

pwnmachine · Jan 28, 2012

Organized_Chaos · Jan 28, 2012

kraver · Jan 28, 2012

2 in the netbook- 8 in the htpc -8 in my laptop - 16 in my gameing pc

16GiB here, it will be average in the next couple years... was great price.

Edit: I have no paging file, so more ram = sweet.

EarthDog · Jan 29, 2012

LOL...love the .x stuff for the numbers :shrug:

.

Anyway, 8GB in my DailyD. Sometimes 16GB in the benching machine. Like Hokie, I voted 8GB.

Got 8 gb ddr3 1600 for some 1333 4gb +20 bucks due to my friends mistake when building with a mobo that only supported 1333

8 GBs in the laptop, which I reckon will end up being the average.

Same here. I would have dumped 16Gb or higher if the laptop could have supported it.

Well, it is disabled on the disks, or its letting me think that it is, so it is forced to ram... amirite?

txus.palacios · Jan 29, 2012

Beware diaz, it may bug you with some apps that ask for a pagefile no matter how many GiBs of RAM you have.

I moved the pagefile to a RAMDisk so I didn't have to worry for it.
