Comment on Noob RAM speed question
Steve@communick.news 2 days ago
It’s all a question of do you run out of memory often?
If you were going from 16 to 32GB, I’d say no. Because you probably don’t max out the 16GB every day. Maybe you do. There are ways that could happen.
But with only 8GB, you’re likely hitting that limit often. So yes I’d go to a slower 16GB in a heartbeat.

Ya I’m definitely hitting the 8 gb limit often

In this day in age, and if you’re an average user, I’d be surprised if you didn’t max out more often with 8 gigs of ram, compared to those with 16 gigs of ram. That’s not to say it can’t be done.
I’m running 32 gigs right now. I’m currently using 9.8 gigs. I have 2 or of 3 Edge browsers in use, 5 tabs in total. 2 Youtube videos are paused, and the rest are low end resource tabs. Steam on standby, Discord open, and Spotify open and ready. Closing Steam dropped it down to 9.1 gigs of ram in use.
