I switched to Samsung b-die 2x8gb on my build and OC’d the chips to 3800Mhz CL14, I’m excited to see the cpu performance when the finals finally releases (I miss it so much 🥺)
But man 16gb is not a ton to go around depending on the apps and games…
32GB is mandatory.
16 reserved for browsing, animation, video editing, 3D rendering, simulations, machine learning, compiling code, creating a black hole, collapsing the universe, and calculating God.
The other 16 is for Minecraft.
Yeh I underbuilt for my usage with 32gb 18 months ago, but I got the quickest spec'd ddr5 at the time. I'm ready for an upgrade now.
16gb would have never sufficed for my 3D CAD school work.
And then there's software like After Effects that just dumps as much as it possibly can into RAM, filling up 64GB with a project of a spinning circle
