64GB Ram - How much RAM computer use?

[b22222c]

Hi, if i have 32gb of ram, computer will use all of 32gb to speed up tasks and system or only use the ram that say on task manager?

This video say that games use let say 8GB ram but all of the ram in the computer is used to speed up system, so a computer with 64gb ram have more performance in games that a computer with 32gb ram even system use only 8gb ram in task manager...

You all only make me spend money 🙁

Some of you already test a lot of computers and ram, using a 2400/2600mhz instead of a 1600mhz will be noticiable in heavy multitasking? I mean if i replace my new 24GB 1600mhz cl10 with a skill 2400cl10 i will notice more speed in the computer while i multitasking?

My Ram have Timings of 10.10.10,but this gskill 2666mhz have 12.13.13, is this faster than mine?

Yes it is

DDR3-2666 > DDR3-1600

Someone said that a 2100 with greater timings was slower than a 1600 with lower timings... Its not only the mhz that counts
Dont you think that 12 is little slower besides 2666mhz?

Someone was wrong.

Data rate > latency

The difference is not substantial though, so there's no need to replace what you have already.

no need to replace it as your current setup seems to be optimized as it is. just good information for you to know in the future. you will not see a big improvement in performance. jayz 2 cents made a good video about this on youtube. cant link it because work blocks youtube. 😛

look into overclocking your ram. id start a new thread for that though this one is getting a little full LOL

Ok last post, whats faster for you:

Skill 2400Mhz 10-12-12-31-2N or
Skill 2666Mhz 12-13-13-35-2N

I personally have only used up to 2400 MHz ram but id say the 2666 is the better option even though its timings are higher.

they are not much higher than the 2400 MHz and that makes me think that with a little voltage and some decent silicon lottery luck you can get the 2666 ram to run at 12,12,12,33,2N with a nice little overclock. id get the faster stuff and try to OC a little. even if you cant get the OC to be stable, 2666 is faster by a little bit

The task manager is telling you how much RAM the system is actually using. The other RAM is available, but unused (so far). The computer will only use as much of the total available memory as it needs to support each app along with some (minimal) system overhead. The system will know about total memory, but won't allocate/use it until it's actually needed.

Having more RAM allows more apps to stay in memory at the same time and allows for concurrent execution. That means, for example, that you can run a game without having to exit/kill all of your other apps. Some apps use a lot of memory (i.e., memory pigs), but most are pretty frugal. I typically have multiple apps running -- like Word, Excel, Chrome (many tabs), Firefox, VirtualBox, Norton, Dashlane, etc. -- and even then I'll hit maybe 4GB-6GB used.

As others have suggested, an 8GB machine should fine, but you may want more RAM if you are going to run apps that are known pigs.

If you have a game that needs 8GB, then you may want a system w/16GB (i.e., 8GB for the game and 8GB for everything else). It would be unusual if you'd need a system with more than that.

Best,

It uses what it needs. Go to Windows Task Manager > Performance > Memory to see the current usage and the you can open the Resource Monitor and select Memory there and have it open in the background.to give you real time usage. but 64GB RAM will only get fully used from time to time if you are video / graphic designing etc If you are gaming only, 2 to 3 GB seems the norm a game will use. If you have the money, go for it, the sales guy will love you.
