What can I actually do with 64 GB or RAM?

  I used to have a batch file to create a ram disk and mirror my Diablo3 install to it. The game took a bit longer to start up but map load times were significantly shorter.

  I don’t know if any modern games would fit and have enough loads to really care…but you could

  More than I could do on my Apple IIe at 64k.

  Run Minecraft and YouTube twice over.

  Figure once over is why I moved to 32, so twice over might need more.

  You can run AI Models in it. Probably ones with 70b or up to 60b of you want to do other stuff while running them.

  I built my PC recently and splurged to get about 100gb of ddr5, thinking it was going to be a waste of money.

  I couldn’t have been more wrong, there are occasionally times when I’m almost running out of memory. How? Multiple desktops, each with tons of programs and stuff open, including probably like several hundred Firefox tabs open at the worst of times.

  Basically, extra ram has allowed me to kinda postpone the responsibility of having the close programs, maintain cleanliness, etc. I still have to stay organised using desktops so I don’t go crazy with the number of things I have open, but I’m the limiting factor here, not my computer. And that’s a super liberating feeling.

  TL;DR: you can NEVER have too much ram.

  Does it have RGB? If not just bin it. It is worthless anyway.

  Unused RAM is wasted RAM.

  I have 64 and am about to upgrade to 128GB

  I run windows in a VM. Nothing heavy, just to test some things on the shitty windows systems

  I run multiple databases, MySQL, PostgreSQL, redis, MongoDB, memcached, all with extra memory available, for development

  I run a large array of services directly and in docker containers. Transmission web, the ARR suite, jellyfin, next cloud, immich, onlyofffice, various PHP apps, the list goes on.

  8GB is the bare minimum if you only browse 16GB Is the bare minimum if you also run other apps 32GB Is a good amount to work with 64GB is a requirement if you do development or have a lot of services 128GB is a normal amount for a developer

  I apparently used all 64GB of my RAM in a video game when using cheats and it crashed my computer lol
