what?

@kriz: i've seen that tower in person. it's pretty damn badass. (that computer was running windows 7 64 bit with 16 gigs of ram. o___o; )
also, didn't you give me shit about making a hackintosh? >:\

Exactly why I don't want to make one.

and I almost bought the iMac with 16 GB of ram instead of my current computer.

16gb is useless.

my main computer has 7gb ddr2, and i dont see a point to upgrade.

(well, i am going to get ddr3 when i upgrade soon.)

but using photo edition software/Autocad my computer never goes over 70% ram usage.

[Krizonar]

It's proven that more RAM improves performance across the board, not just the ability to open more things.

[Chocofreak13]

the owner was also using that pc for some SERIOUS gaming. his "work" computer (which i played with) had 8 gigs, and it flew. it was awesome. *w*

[Alex_Reetz]

but, are YOU going to use that much bloody ram?

tis the question.

[Krizonar]

Indeed. I want all the performance I can get short of things that damage the system.
Also, that's basically what my mother said when I bought this, LOL

I have 8GB in 2k-tan the Desktop, and I rarely go above 1\4...although, since it won't cost too much, I'll likely boost her to 16GB anyway later down the road (She can actually handle up to 32GB, but I can't even buy SIMMs of DDR3 big enough to go that far even if I really wanted to, so that's out of the question for now)

Also, my mom is now considering a different job; one that, hopefully, would be less stressful. After all, being put under too much stress can do weird shit to you

[Alex_Reetz]

my opinion still stands, and it doesn't affect neither opinions. after 4gb of ram, the average user will not go over 2.6gbs.

[Nichi]

For me, having that much RAM is more of an ego thing; being able to say I have a "normal" desktop PC that can run circles around the server at work

[Alex_Reetz]

well, better then my at age 16 buying 6gb or ram for x32 windows xp just to have the implement she had big boobs.

ah, my childhood.

I can't even buy SIMMs of DDR3 big enough to go that far even if I really wanted to, so that's out of the question for now

Current problem I face. Only 8 GB sticks currently available are the wrong Hertz speed.

and you're right, Alex, but I don't usually use more than 3 gigs even with everything I have open, so on that, you're right. Just I like the side effect of boosted speed enough to pay for the RAM.

And yes, ram is also an ego thing

My main Mac still only has 2GB of RAM. And I used to think that was a lot, but still gets the job done for me. My Mac Mini, which was my previous main (now secondary) Mac has only 1 GB. Before that was my B+W Power Mac G3 with 256 MB of RAM and was my main Mac until '08. @_@

[Krizonar]

You have a B+W Power Mac G3?

i had a g3 mac; for 3 days.

it caught fire when i was modding it. :[
