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.
