I have 32GiB and greatly regret not upgrading when it was cheap
I have 64gb, and everyone was like why, you don’t need that much, it’s a waste etc.
Three years down the road, I don’t regret it, let’s put it that way. Yeah it’s not really necessary, but I knew this would happen (not the ram price stuff - the sloppy coding and the gaming world’s ever expanding requirements).
Not really sure why there was outrage for this. 16GB has been seen as the minimum going back to COVID times? (If I recall correctly?) 32GB is a reasonable amount to recommend if they expect a user will also be running a browser and discord while gaming.
The windows 11 team at Microsoft isn’t responsible for the realities of modern software. The community bulling them into pretending that 32GB isn’t a good recommendation these days doesn’t actually help anything
I haven’t bothered to read the article yet, but I’m gonna go out on a limb and assume they want our PCs to be so overpowered in order to better run their AI bullshit. Gonna turn us into a distributed datacentre or something.
Meanwhile I’m just out here vibing to some good old Fallout New Vegas
For modern AAA games I’d say that’s pretty accurate of a recommendation despite the costs associated with ram. Ideally games should be optimized to run on 8Gb but windows and other software is probably going to happily eat up a few gigs.
With Linux I can run all those apps that the article say plus whatever I’m playing and hardly enough I get close to 12 or 15 gb of ram.
