    I have a lowly 6GB I wish I had bought some RAM when the prices were still ok, before the pound crashed against the dollar. :/

    Sadly only 8GB. Never had the need for more just yet. Maybe on my next Mobo / CPU combo

    8GB- enough given the limitations of my A10 processor for gaming. That was the best 'bang for buck' option when I built this rig and couldn't afford a discrete GPU of any worth. Now have an EVGA 960 GTX 4GB GPU, so when funds allow will rebuild the rig with a better CPU/mobo, and faster RAM (although not necessarily more than 8GB).

    Re: QOTW: How much memory is inside your main PC?

    32gb DDR4 2400 X99 build
    Complete overkill for gaming rig with some odd photoshop tinkering, But always been in the mindset where I never have to worry about not enough.
    Last X79 build had 32gb DDR3 1866, Probably just stick with 32gb in every new build from now on.

    Re: QOTW: How much memory is inside your main PC?

    32GB, which might seem unnecessary except I do a lot of multichannel work with high-sample-rate 24-bit audio, and also large scale multi-layered Photoshop work. I might not really need 32GB, but 16GB wasn't going to be a wise choice.

    For speed, I wasn't going to pay over the odds because I haven't seen a review for any DDR4 RAM that makes a case for high speed RAM. I was able to get a bargain on Corsair Vengeance 2666MHz for the same money as the cheapest DDR4 I could find, so I took it, but I know that I would have exactly the same experience with RAM of a speed rank above or below.

    Re: QOTW: How much memory is inside your main PC?

    Only using a NUC at the moment and it has 32GB.
    I used to use a ramdrive program a lot (particularly before we got SSD's), so I always had a lot of RAM.
    When I had 16GB in the NUC, it used always be getting close to maxing out when I was doing research. Sometimes even did when I would have 2 or more bowser windows open (sometimes up to 10 or more) with lots of tabs open in all of them (each browser a specific topic and sometimes over 50 tabs open on each topic) plus several other programs going all at once. I tend to keep referring back and forward between pages, et cetera, so it is easier to have evrything open and easy to access. Even right now I have used 12.4GB of my 32GB RAM and I am not doing much.

    Re: QOTW: How much memory is inside your main PC?

    Too much, Corsair CMK32GX4M4A2800C16 Vengeance LPX 32 GB. I don't need that much, much the same for the rest of my PC, it's OTT. I don't do gaming, graphics or other such things, I just like building PC's. I think it's time to dismantle my rig , sell off the components and start all over again with something a little more realistic. May have to post a big "For Sale" sign for the following:-Intel Core i7 6700K; Noctua NH-U14S CPU Cooler; AsRock Z170 Extreme7+; Gigabyte GTX 1070 G1 Gaming; 2 x Samsung 950 PRO NVMe M.2 512 GB; BeQuiet 850 W Dark Pro 11 PSU; ASUS ROG Swift PG279Q; Creative Soundblaster ZxR; Thermaltake Core V71 and of course the Corsair CMK32GX4M4A2800C16 Vengeance LPX 32 GB. I'll keep the Logitech 2.1 Speaker System Z623 and a few other bits and pieces. All I ever do is stream music and films, emails and the like together with my university studies ( languages). No I'm not a young student with more money than sense, I'm an old man, mature student working full time, shift work, with time on his hands. Any suggestions for a new system, more suited to my needs, budget circa £1500. I'd be interested to hear them.

    Re: QOTW: How much memory is inside your main PC?

    I got bitten in the butt by the "upgrade later" mentality twice (with DDR and DDR2).

    "I'll just get 2x1GB DDR2-800 for now.. If I ever need more I can still stick 2 more sticks in later"

    [... fast forward a year or two or three ...]

    "crap.. the same RAM now costs double or thrice of what I initially paid for it.. no upgrade for me then "

    Similar story over a decade back with DDR1 in my Pentium 4 Northwood (which still exists and works).

    When I built my 1155 system I basically said "f.. duck it" and bought 32GB (4x8GB) DDR3-1600 Crucial Ballistix Sport VLP.
    In other words: maxed out the RAM so I don't have to worry about upgrades.

    32GB, and I'm quite often using over 16GB according to take manager. Only recently upgraded from a 2500k to a R5 3600 and 32GB was so affordable it was an easy choice.

    16 gb in my rig now, last one had 32gb. i think 16 is the sweet spot unless you do a lot of editing or its a workstation and your doing cad or 3d work then pile it in! with a massive cored processor.
