Haha, I mean I'm using up 8 gigs of ram with 10 chrome tabs open, 16gb is definitely starting to look a little lightweight than I'd like at the moment. I built my PC in 2020 with 16gb and around the end of 2021 I ended upgrading with two more sticks, just to keep things running smoothly!
With you adding my RAM, that's exactly why I say 32GB of 4GB per core, to make sure everything runs while making sure not all hardware is being used so everything runs at max performance.
For example if an 8 core 32GB system is using 6 cores and 14GB, then all programs are running as they should be with ease. But if a 16GB system is using 14GB, there's not enough memory and might already be starting to pagefile.
