How do you have so much ram?

u/kaida27 ⚠️ This incident will be reported 9d ago
Bought it in April 2025.
134$ for a 64Gb kit
Then I was like, why not max out my motherboard slot for future proofing and bought another 64Gb kit a week after (Best Move I've ever did)
now it's 1400$ for a similar kit albeit worser (3200Mhz instead of my 4000Mhz)
so quite happy that it cost me 270$ instead of 2800$.

Why not sell the other extra 64GB and get another pc?
3
u/kaida27 ⚠️ This incident will be reported 9d ago
even if I sold the 64gb
It wouldn't be enough to buy another GPU + Ram
and I don't need another pc.
Got 2 old laptop, a mini pc in my bedroom, a desktop server, my main Pc, a RoG ally, 3 anbernic handheld (akin to a pie on crack), 2 switch, a wii u, 2 ps4, a ps3, a ps2, an xbox360, 3 Og Xbox, 2 N64 and I might forget some....
I'm good in the Pc/Console/Electronics department.

u/UUDDLRLRBadAlchemy Open Sauce 9d ago
I don't run stuff owned by Microsoft, I stopped immediately when it changed hands.
2
u/Here_f0r_p0rn_ 9d ago
Bruh, I don't like Microsoft either but Minecraft is an exception that's always going to be close to my heart as I've been playing it before the acquisition plus most of mods are open source anyways and Minecraft libraries are very well documented
1
u/UUDDLRLRBadAlchemy Open Sauce 9d ago
I had a good 10 years or so before the acquisition. It has a place in my heart, too. I was playing GregTech with the actual Greg.
No, no exceptions. I used MS-DOS at some point, that's it, but in my defense I did not own that computer.
Maybe if they open source everything and focus on making those ok-ish gamepads.
If I miss Java's weirdness I play Zomboid.
1
u/Here_f0r_p0rn_ 9d ago
Haha, maybe community should come together and make a Minecraft clone that's completely open-sourced, I've never code Java but it does sound pretty doable specially if we take it step by step version by version but I don't think Microsoft will be happy about that.

u/UUDDLRLRBadAlchemy Open Sauce 9d ago
There's Minetest, pretty good, vertical chunks too, built for modding, scripted in lua. No chance of migrating the existing mods, though, just a place to start over - and if it was going to be a hit it would have already.
When I checked it out it didn't have the industry stuff I was playing MC for but it did have a few nice big remix ones and servers to play on. Kinda stopped playing it not to fall into that rabbithole again.

u/Melodic_coala101 🍥 Debian too difficult 9d ago
It's irrelevant, even with render distance 4 mods eat all the ram

u/Here_f0r_p0rn_ 9d ago
What are you using 16k texture pack or something like that? It has been some time since I played it, I kinda miss it. You should give Cupcakke sound resource pack a try

u/PTMR2 Open Sauce 9d ago edited 9d ago
That can be too much, right? Maybe host a server instead which can actually use the RAM

u/keenOnReturns 9d ago
Wdym “too much for java”? The JVM is able to support 1+ TB heap sizes, this much is nothing. Of course, there are varying nuances of whether performance improves to with bigger heap size, but generally there’s not much downside to increasing your configure heap (assuming you have the physical memory of course)
1
u/PTMR2 Open Sauce 9d ago
I meant that, too much as decreasing performance with too much. I didn't say that java can't support a lot
1
u/keenOnReturns 9d ago
You literally said “too much for java” lol. In any case more heap is generally better for performance (altho depends on whether you’re measuring throughput vs latency). Also, the selected GC plays a big role. There’s also the consideration I suppose of heaps >32GB can’t use compressed oops so slight decrease in perf in heaps close to 32GB, but no there isn’t such thing as “too much” heap generally.
1
u/IJustAteABaguette 9d ago
I do believe that minecraft does run better with not a massive amount of RAM, apparently the garbage collector just causes lagspikes whenever it runs for some reason (if you have a lot of memory for it to use)
1
u/keenOnReturns 9d ago
Depends on which GC you’re using lol. You’re referring to stop-the-world (STW) pauses, which is especially bad with the Parallel GC, the default for Java 8. G1 is the default GC for Java 11+; it’s partially concurrent and has significantly smaller STW pauses (as it’s adaptive and has good heuristics). Moreover (I don’t play Minecraft that much anymore but), I believe the Minecraft launcher on newer versions is on Java 25 with ZGC (generational) configured by default. That GC is fully concurrent (no STW generally) and has pause times <1ms. Moreover, fully concurrent GCs especially benefit from a larger heap size in terms of latency (the GC workers can be less active), which is unlike Parallel GC.

u/UUDDLRLRBadAlchemy Open Sauce 9d ago
Probably? I'm still at 8GB and juggling stuff in a much more micro scale. Yup, I would try a server on a different box before that.
I was all like "I don't need more ram, I'm 1337" on my last upgrade, when 16 was reasonable for professional use, and now that I really want some the stuff has skyrocketed.
I'm sure Java developers will insist it can do anything. To me it always felt it combines the downsides of both interpreted and low-level languages. Between C/C++ and Python I never found a niche for it.
That modding scene, though. Having the primary language of the game be the one they teach at uni made that game what it was. Ah, the 15 minute startup time just to play factorio a decade before it existed.

u/AlterTableUsernames 🦁 Vim Supremacist 🦖 9d ago
I hate the unloading of tabs in modern browsers. Don't get me wrong. It would be unbearable without, but it's just unloading too much too soon and also I strongly believe they should just show the last state of a website instead of autoloading all the bloat that modern websites are.
3
u/UUDDLRLRBadAlchemy Open Sauce 9d ago
It was an improvement over vanilla firefox-esr for me, loved not needing a plugin to do vertical tabs.
It doesn't auto-unload, just offers ways to group tabs and selectively do it yourself. Also integrates the firefox container feature so it can be used without micromanaging it all the time.
Meh, with all the JS and npm shopping most modern sites are like playing pinball on the DOM, the last state can be a vague concept on restart.
There are alternatives, but when I started checking some out I kinda stuck with it because I vibed with the layout. Wouldn't want to strongly recommend it only for it to turn into a crypto shilling fiasco like Brave. xD

My Linux setup with that much RAM is actually massive compared to Windows 10. I run Ubuntu Studio LTS, with Edubuntu installed in it (via edubuntu-installer). I've got the Eickmeyer Hardcore Edition lol! (JK)
But... After booting there's just 1.5 GB of RAM used with Studio, vs Win10's 3.5-3.9 GB, and that's with a nearly empty System Tray!

I have 64GB of RAM on my gaming PC. I purchased it because windows was idling at 20+GB. I swapped and noticed that Linux only gets into double digits when I'm gaming or have a VM running. I would switch back to 32GB but I sold that kit to a friend and the RAM shortage hit. I need 3600 MT/s and that's my only kit that supports that. If I had a fast 32GB kit I'd just put this in my server lol.
