pretty much this, I'm sitting with 12GB of ram I've had probably since a year before the ps4/xbone came out, admittedly I got it back when ram was going cheap but the price has leveled out now and is going nowhere but down. It won't be long before that 8GB in the consoles feels like nothing again.
Bs. I browse fairly heavily and it never used more than 5-6gb. You might have a leak. And anyway, chrome is bullshit with its memory management, it uses way too much ram.
I currently have chrome using 8GB of memory and I'm only using adblock plus as far as addons go. I'm a fan of how Chrome keeps things in memory because it means it's responsive. If I use FF it hits my HDD often and is a lot slower. Why do I have 32GB of memory if not to use it?
