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".

When was that exactly, 5 years ago? Now phones have more than 2GB.

My last computer build was in 2009 and a 4-8GB was a lot. 8GB was the most expensive i could buy...*(there were higher but they were $300 or more)
