Let's assume I have the highest end CPU and GPU for average consumers
e.g.
i7 3970X (Overclocked)
and
Asus Direct CU II GTX 690 4Gb
such that RAM is being the "bottleneck" or limiting factor.
How much RAM is optimal for HD video editing on programs such as Adobe AE CS5+ or Sony Vegas Pro 10+, without being overkill?
I'm inclined to think between 16Gb and 32Gb is the sweet spot, do you think it's worth getting 32Gb?
