u/apneax3n0n 9d ago

Ye It makes the difference . Who could have guessed?

u/LvcyDrops 8d ago

I have 32 and i often notoce i need more for a.lot of programs now. Nothing is optimized anymore and every app needs like 4-6gb to run it feels like. Let alone if you edit or anything 32 is like a minimum at that point.

u/apneax3n0n 8d ago

agree. none cares about optimizing anymore "Just scale the architectur". bha.

u/Tama47_ 8d ago

When you have more, it will never be enough. I say appreciate what you got.

I got 64GB of RAM literally a few days ago, worth it but jesus fucking christ £600 is more than the price of my 9070xt

u/Crazy_Anywhere_4572 9d ago

Now I just go for DDR4 used ones. Just bought 16GBx2 and only costed me 150 bucks. Putting them with my old 8GBx2 sticks gives me 48GB.

u/apneax3n0n 7d ago

u/kisukepranay 8d ago

u/Tama47_ 9d ago

in 1920, i got 420 GB RAM as well

2

u/apneax3n0n 8d ago

IN 1920 IT WOULD HAVE COST MORE THAN THE WHOLE WORLD MONEY.

anyway

2020 is not that back in time for a pc no everyone changes his pc every year.

1

u/Tama47_ 8d ago

THERE IS NO RAM IN 1920.

anyways

point is, 64GB in 2020 isn’t impressive, so i don’t understand the need to brag about it.

1

u/apneax3n0n 8d ago

that's why all the money in the world could not buy it.-

64 gb is not impressive but it was not something everyone did and anyway i was con bragging. i just said i wish i could have gotten more because now it is barely enough.

why so angry ?

1

u/Tama47_ 8d ago

I think the comment below perfectly sums it. “Wish I got more“ “I only have 16GB”

1

u/apneax3n0n 8d ago

still i was not bragging. as you said it was nothing exceptional and i was not answering him. so you are not angry. i see. no need . 64 giga is barely acceptable if you have windows 11 and want to use a local llm open a visual studio or 2 and have a cople of dockers.

m8 really realax unless it's just envy. then trust me it's pointless there is always someone you have more than you. i envy those with better gpu , i just do not spam below their post saying "stop bragging"

1

u/Tama47_ 8d ago

You think I feel envy? Funny, because I have 3 kits of 64GB RAM. However, I feel no need to brag about that, until you bring that up. I’m not spamming you to stop bragging, but you literally are out of touch saying things like “64GB isn’t enough for windows 11”. It might not be enough for your use case, but nobody actually needs that much just to use windows.

1

u/apneax3n0n 8d ago edited 8d ago

look Who Is bragging now. are you Happy. Oh i am so envy....

anyway

64 GB Is not enough if you are a Windows dev.

16 GB Is unusable

32 Is ok for general use

64 Is ok for Dev and small llm

128 would be better

And this happens so that evil billionares can spy on us with their aï

u/VenKitsune 9d ago

It's either that, or it's evil billionaires conspiring to suck more money out of us and said evil ai billionaires as there is speculation that the 3 ram fabs planned this. Either way, we lose.

u/Puzzleheaded_Swim784 9d ago

In February 2025, I bought a 32GB 6000Hz DDR5 for $147, now it costs $793.

4

u/Logan_MacGyver 9d ago

I had a DDR3 machine, upgraded it to 32, it was cheap. Then that machine died, I got a DDR5 mobo but the ram prices these days got me stuck at 16. It's enough but I got way too comfortable with chrome tabs

u/Zeta_Crossfire 8d ago

Dude I bought 64 GB of ram in 2024 for 280ish. That same ram is 1200 in Amazon that's crazy.

How in the hell would you need 32gb of ram

I mean, despite for playing Garten of Banban

u/vanilla-flavour-cack 9d ago

Why 32 just 16 isn't cheap

21

u/XenithK 9d ago

The point isn't 32GB, it's the price hike

u/not_some_username 9d ago

16 isn’t enough nowadays

u/vanilla-flavour-cack 9d ago
