I regularly use over 16-24GB of my 32 GB, and considering I just had to replace 4 8s with 2 16s, I’m honestly kinda tempted to get another pair just to have knowing the shit that’s coming down the pipe.
I have 64 and I have rarely ever used as much as 16.

I also have 64, but I’ve seen up to 34 in use a couple times. I could have stayed with 48gb, but the timings/cas latency was much better on the 64gb kit, than running mismatched sizes across 4 slots

I just remembered I did use up to 63GB once. Thanks memory leak.

How is it 2025 and people still don’t understand how RAM works?
If you’ve got 64GB of RAM, ideally you want to be using nearly all of that 64GB at all times.

It’s not like I’m manually clearing things out of the ram. And before the power outage last weekend I had an up-time over 2 months.
It’s there a way to have the OS utilize more?

That’s reassuring, gotta make sure I take care of mine. The pc market has been too messy the last few years.

Yeah, by the time it becomes an issue you’ll be ready to upgrade anyway. There are few use cases for as much RAM as I have. I only bought it to fuck around with VM’s. I’m probably skipping ddr5 and am5 so you’re in good company.

you must have correctly moved on from Chrome

Haven’t used Chrome since the Windows 7 days.
