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

[hckngrtfakt]

32gb on my Xeon system at work for photoshop, video editing, etc
32gb on my gaming system at home for videogames only
16gb on my mac mini for internet browsing, emails & youtube

 

[DR4G00N]

16GB because only the good B-Die comes in 8GB sticks.

Alpha (2 x 8GB GB) - CAD Workstation / Gaming Box / SOHO Data Server Desktop
Beta (2 x 8GB) - CAD Workstation / Gaming Laptop
Chi (2 x 8GB) - Home Office Work / Spreadsheets / Databases / Gaming Desktop / Light Photo Video Editing
Delta (2 x 8GB) - College Work (Finance) / Gaming Desktop
Epsilon (2 x 8GB) - Flight Sims / Gaming Desktop
Phi (1 x 8GB) - Office Manager's Laptop
Gamma (16 GB) - Office Manager's Desktop

All have more than enough RAM available for all uses.... never get over 10-12 GB used. Tries RAM drives, gave great benchmarks, but since no one could tell whether it was enabled or not, stopped using.

32GB for Gaming

 

[Caring1]

Why only give gaming or professional use as options?
I use mine for browsing, reading and searches.

128GB, bioinformatics work 90% of the time and occasional VR gaming.

My current rig has 16GB because 32GB was well over $200 when I did my system overhaul. My old system has 32GB that I bought used for pretty cheap. My main laptop has 12GB.

The most intensive things I do with my rig are gaming, video transcoding, running VMs, and the like. 16GB has been fine for me so far.

I personally consider 8GB the minimum, with 16GB being the sweet spot right now.

16 GB mostly for gaming / streaming and light video editing .

Usually eating up 80% all the time.

 

[mouacyk]

48GB on Gentoo compiler/media/web/data server.
16GB on Gentoo developer/gaming desktop.
32GB on video editing desktop.

@kastriot - Bad poll is bad?

If I have 8gb, do I select 4-8gb or 8-16gb? 16gb do I select 8-16 or 16-32....and on it goes up.

Edit: You have crossover of choices. Because of this the poll isnt accurate.

I have 64GB on my dual Xeon, comprised of 8 sticks of 8GB. This is because by using 8 sticks I get quad channel enabled on each CPU.
Didn't cost me too much, it's DDR3, ECC and Registered.

I was stumped on that too for a second because I have 16 GB on my main rig. I ended up choosing 8 to 16 GB but 16 to 32 GB would have been right as well.

The two Dell workstations in my signature. Both DDR3 1333mhz. Non-professional use.

#1 = 24gb non-ECC. Mostly for gaming.

#2 = 48gb registered ECC. Mostly for video editing.

 

[LiveOrDie]

64GB for rendering porn.

I'll say that generally most of my 'modern' PCs have 16Gb (X58 SR-2 has 24Gb, X99, Z77, Z97, Z170 and X370) but the other 'retro' based hardware is still running about the 1Gb or possibly 2Gb depending on what I've got in there.

I'd consider 16Gb a bare minimum really for modern stuff and more so Windows 10 and Chrome but jokes aside, even Linux Mint 19.3 I believe I use, does seem a little better with at least 8Gb in, but 16Gb seems to be better. 4Gb that's I'm currently using definitely needs to be upgraded, it's too little and stops things being smooth when using it even to just crunch it cuts out a few threads, waiting for ram etc..

With prices coming down, I look forward to being able to upgrade a few systems to some more ram, some will spares also

Its worse. You can check two boxes. So any Joe could give just 'Gaming and Gaming&Professional' as choices and no GB amount; or 8-16GB and 32-64GB at the same time lacking the other half. Poll results are just about worthless as it is now...

@kastriot

Hello? Are you able to change the poll so it is accurate? Or start a new one and getting this closed?

Have to agree with you on this one.
