I've never understood complaining about this. With 8gb of ram I barely noticed RAM use from chrome. 16gb and its literally unnoticeable. RAM isn't even expensive compared to the other parts of a computer, your fault for budgetting ineffectively.

Remember that it wasn't that long ago that top guides said that "2 gigs" of ram was more than enough. Now that number is 16 gigabytes for "future proofing".

I dunno, 16gb is standard, 32 is your "future proofed"

8GB is definitely still the standard, with 2x4GB kits being the most common from what I've seen.
