![]() ![]() The server does a lot as I have a ton of VMs running on it. So when I moved to the HP I added more RAM to give me headroom (I also went from a mix of Dual and Quad Rank ECC RAM to flat Load Reduced ECC RAM to make future high density upgrades easier if I need them). My Dell only had 64GB of RAM, but was using about 60GB and I was having problems adding more VMs to the server. I should post an update into the Server thread. I have the Dell R620 I previously used powered off in my home rack. I have an HP D元60p Gen8 that I just purchased maybe a month or two back. More than likely, the user will replace the machine before 32GB becomes a bottleneck for them. If someone asked me how much RAM they should buy today for a gaming rig that is also used for general purpose computing I'd say 16GB and if you've found a great deal I'd stop at 32GB. If you'll have the machine for 5+ years and the RAM is fairly cheap I'd add some buffer for application bloat (remember 5 years ago 8GB of RAM was the "sweet" spot that 16GB is today). So you should gauge your RAM decision with your ownership curve as well. RAM is cheaper now so I'm fine adding a little more than needed today, but keep in mind that unless you're running VMs or doing certain specific tasks you'll have a hard time exhausting RAM above 16GB right now. It has 256GB right now and maxing it out at over 1TB would be insanely expensive. In my primary server I'll never max the RAM out on it. My laptop has 32GB of RAM mainly due to the RAM being cheap at the time so I maxed it out. ![]() My Desktop has 64GB of RAM as I tend to run VMs on my Desktop for development as well as prior to sending them to my primary server. I tend to put as much RAM in my machines are is reasonable and affordable when I build/purchase the machine. ![]()
