How much system memory you have on PC and for what purpose it's used

kastriot · Apr 17, 2019

Just a little pool about memory and for what it's used.

R-T-B · Apr 17, 2019

32GB on a gaming gentoo System. Yes, I am crazy.

Probably gaming&profesional use, then?

windwhirl · Apr 17, 2019

32 GB.

RAM drives.

If I only gamed, I would only need about 16 gb.

eidairaman1 · Apr 17, 2019

Faster access than a SSD.

14Gigs Free, 2 Used by Windows 7 64bit.

Kursah · Apr 17, 2019

8GB work laptop (soldered on and pushed beyond limits), all sorts of work stuff...constantly hitting mid-90% usage.
16GB main system, 16GB gaming laptop, used in multitasking, gaming, running VM labs, etc.
32GB in servers - Hyper-V cores, multiple VM's in operation and with replication between cores.

Ebo · Apr 17, 2019

16 GB used for gaming and light video editing..

oxrufiioxo · Apr 17, 2019

32GB. Mostly gaming.

chaosmassive · Apr 17, 2019

10GB, (weird configuration, I know) for browsing with at least 15 tabs, gaming, with light python coding

FreedomEclipse · Apr 17, 2019

I used to have 32GB on my X79 platform but currently run 16GB. Doesnt make me miss 32GB any less though...

mainly used for gaming and web browsing with a few hundred tabs open.

tigger · Apr 17, 2019

16GB

Gaming and general use

cucker tarlson · Apr 17, 2019

if I have 16 do I click 8-16 or 16-32 ?

Jetster · Apr 17, 2019

32gb video editing, transcoding, gaming Your poll doesn't really make sense. And I can't think of one "professional" that games on there work PC.

dorsetknob · Apr 17, 2019

256mb to 24gig across laptops to x5690
gaming web general use /encoding

IceScreamer · Apr 17, 2019

8GB, use it for light CAD modelling, web browsing, occasional gaming, only ran into lack of RAM one single time.

Chloe Price · Apr 17, 2019

Main systems: 4GB on HTPC, works perfectly even with some gaming. 16GB on gaming PC and also no problems.
Retro builds: 2GB on Socket A rig, 4GB on Socket AM2+/AGP rig.

delshay · Apr 17, 2019

Still on 939 platform, so i'm stuck with 4GB, but it's more than enough for web browsing/light gaming.

Rahnak · Apr 17, 2019

8GB and I mostly use my PC for gaming and media consumption these days.

On a side note, your poll is poorly constructed as you have two options for multiple values. Should've been 4-7GB, 8-15GB, etc..

Chomiq · Apr 17, 2019

16 GB, initially I had 8 GB but had a chance to pick up second stick few years down the line for free (some creative accounting with university). It's pretty much a daily browsing/gaming rig.

27MaD · Apr 17, 2019

8GB , only for gaming and browsing , never felt that i need 16GB.

micropage7 · Apr 17, 2019

just 8 GB, just for basic tasks and photoshop

rtwjunkie · Apr 17, 2019

16GB on mine for gaming, 32GB on wife’s for gaming and photo editing.

vega22 · Apr 17, 2019

32

Mostly modeling and high Res texture work with some gaming.

xtreemchaos · Apr 17, 2019

32 for image processing, my ram gets its neck rung with staxing programs and 32 on my gaming rig cos its a nice round number but in practice it never uses more than about 10gb in VR.

Splinterdog · Apr 17, 2019

32Gb, but I probably don't need it. It was an impulse buy.

bonehead123 · Apr 17, 2019

2000PB.... not 'cause I needz it but 'cause I can :eek:

nah, j/k !

16GB is the sweet spot for me, enuff but not excessive, for general use, work stuff, video/photo processing, etc etc......
