10 years from now when the smallest stick of ram you can buy is 6gb, you will laugh at the good old days when you were rocking 8gbs.

Probably in 5 years people will be getting 16gb. 5 years ago people were saying 4 wasn't needed and 2 was enough.
95% of the time my 6gb is perfect. Other 5% its still fine just have like 100 photos open or something. Windows does a good job at closing unnecessary resources as well Just looked at Newegg **** ram has dropped in price! Although my ram is somehow better then all of it? Only 1 stick out of 703 different DDR3 ram is running CAS 6 and its only dual channel 2gb.. Last edited by vai0 : 03-30-2012 at 01:00 PM. |

I currently have 16GB ram in my PC.
I frequently run 6-8 VMs on my PC and they each have to have a fair emount of ram available so 16GB comes in very handy. |

You'll probably want to upgrade to DDR4 in 3+ years for the potential performance increases the new topology has to offer, as well as higher clock speeds and lower power consumption.

Glad to know I got some time to wait cause these sticks were expensive when i got them a few years ago, but they've got freaking heat spreaders on em so I can't complain maybe one of these days I'll get around to pushing them farther but they run cool to the touch as I have them right now, whats the safe temp for ram also OCZ says these things are warrantied up to 1.95v i've only got them at 1.7 atm.

 Had to settle for a pro-rated cash payment of $65 for a 2x1 gig set of 9200 Reapers that I had for only a couple years. I think that blows. |
