[citation][nom]Crashman[/nom]Nobody will use more than 12GB of memory, 16GB should be enough for anyone.[/citation]
Could be, but I kinda doubt it. The other day I used explorer to look for some images. Explorer found a bit over 86000 jpg images, and used 5.4GB memory doing so. Now imagine I was running dragon age origins in the background, and had photoshop open because I was messing with some textures in the game, and ofcourse a memory editor, cause who can be without one. That on top of all the other stuff I'm always running (msn, antivirus, chrome, ie8 etc) would leave little room left for windows to use as disk cache - and remember that windows 7 is really excellent at using memory for cache. Then I would imagine that 12GB is only adequate, not nessecarily all you'll need. And what if you've got serveral games open at once? Happends to me sometimes - wow and something else mostly, but anything is possible I suppose.
I put 12GB in my parents pc, and while I think it's overkill right now, I don't think it'll be that in 2 years time - and they're not the kind to upgrade as long as the old system works.
[citation][nom]anon11112[/nom]this is funny reading everyone complaining about the price of ram. I still remember a time when we use to get all horny when Ram prices dropped to 1 Dollar a MB LMAO[/citation]
Yeah I remember buying 16MB fastpage ram at $270 for my 486 once, so I suppose in context these kits are rather cheap
