How big is your steamfolder?

[Inject OH 4]

im using Windows 7, but my Father also uses Windows 7 but he only gets on 20% with 8GB,

i have 3GB because i wanted my PC fast and they didnt have more than that(1 card of 2 1 card of 1 GB for RAM) so this is how i ended up...

and with PC wizard it says that i use 50%...

I'd find that difficult to believe however, as far as I know it does have a limit to how far it goes. I think it can only ever use up to 4GB at max.

In fact some users mod their system to make it use more on purpose.
Also windows tends to do this:

"Cached: 7.8GB (most marked as available because for other stuff can use it at any moment)"
"Actually free: 16 megabytes."

Regardless turn off your Nortan 360 Ram hog (Joking, I hope you don't actually have that)
And you should be fine. Barely any applications even really utilize ram to the degree they should these days.

It's all about a half decent CPU, and a good Graphics card (assuming you game)

32 GB with what you want to do will never happen. You will never need that much. That's server grade.
8GB will do everything you ask and more. I promise you.

And if you can't record at 1080p in Gmod that's probably nothing to do with you ram. I have fraps and have done 1080p recording in gmod just fine........ with 4 gb of ram.





SIDE SIDE SIDE note:
Don't use fraps, get BandiCam.

FYI, my PC is the host of: terraria server, Gmod server, i only put them up when i use them, so that is a side note for the 32 GB

Our server box hosted about 10 servers at the time of having 12 GB? I think of ram.

So no not a valid excuse. Sorry you won't convince me that 32 GB makes sense.

[Cortez (Mr. T. FOO!)]

Yeah, you will never use 32 GBs of ram, it's just a waste of money. Even having 16 GBs is pushing it.

If i had 32 gigs of ram, id play ZM, Mass Effect, Minecraft, Skyrim, Stream music and download the internet at the same time.

And RAM would barely help because the video card and processor would not be able to keep up because thats most of what those things use dante

[Yahtzee]

My steam folder is 370GB

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. You should get a processor and graphics card to match that RAM. I have a feeling it'll be more useful for that stuff you wanna do than just RAM.

Yes I know. But RAM helps since i'm using 2.5 gigs. I have ordered parts for my new computer which will have 8 and a Graphics Card, and processors to match.

[Link236]

I'm at 267 GB

If I didn't delete a ton of the games I don't play off my HDD the other day, I'd have a lot more.

[Billy]

2 TB.

[Christovski]

2 TB.

[Phoenix]

graphics: AMD HD 7790
Processor: Intel I5 3.2 GHZ quadcore

[Ðeath.]

2 TB.

yeah, Screenshots, now.
