The poll focus is on your primary computer. That you own.

Currently 16gbs

David · 01-28-12, 05:31 AM

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

Mario1 · 01-28-12, 05:47 AM

10GB in my PC, used to have 1GB in my old PC so I've decided to install 10 in the new one.
No more lag due to insufficient RAM

Mpegger · 01-28-12, 06:39 AM

24GiB on my main.

Btw, when referring to system ram, its GiB, not GB.

With low cost and good overclocking 4gig modules available. I would agree, 8 gigs could be the average.

Tweaked! · 01-28-12, 08:02 AM

8gig in my primary and my wife's rig, and 4gig in my backroom server.

Janus67 · 01-28-12, 08:08 AM

8GB for normal use and a 4GB set for benching

freeagent · 01-28-12, 09:30 AM

Im running 6 right now.. Id run 12 if I could find another set that could run at 6-6-6-20

Audioaficionado · 01-28-12, 10:20 AM

Eight here too.

Xtreme Barton · 01-28-12, 10:54 AM

my poor laptop on has 1gb .. the toughest thing i throw at it though is visual basic 2010 .. guess im old school it still "feels" fast enough ..not that fast ...but fast enough .. lol

Aldakoopa · 01-28-12, 11:01 AM

My old computer only had 2GB, and 8GB is cheap and more than enough for me, so my new rig has 8.

trekky · 01-28-12, 12:09 PM

i have 16gb because why not?

p.s. 8gb used to be over kill now its the normal amount

SChema · 01-28-12, 12:46 PM

I'm currently running 16GB, bought more upfront instead of messing with it later on down the road.

Seebs · 01-28-12, 12:59 PM

16GB... Got a kit as a prize on a competition at another board so I figured I'd put it to good use and save my expensive ram for benching.

ChanceCoats123 · 01-28-12, 01:22 PM

Grabbed a set of Sandy Britches specific ram when I moved my system from AMD to intel and figured, why not grab 8GB?

I do love my 3x2GB set of Hypers though. I use 4GB of that set in my AMD rig.

kratzaus · 01-28-12, 01:39 PM

RAM is ridiculously cheap these days. For me 8GB which is plenty.

capttripppp · 01-28-12, 01:45 PM

Pretty much all of my sets are 2x2gb to use benching. I might just pick up a set of 2x4gb just check it out because the prices are sooooo low

CompuTamer · 01-28-12, 02:15 PM

8GB on my desktop, 4GB on my laptop. Both seem to handle what they're being used for very well. I don't do any gaming on the laptop, so 4GB is working very well, and 8GB on the desktop seems to be plenty for any game i throw at it.

txus.palacios · 01-28-12, 02:28 PM

16GiB.

Was so cheap I couldn't help but grab a 4x4 kit.
