    16GB on the motherboard, 4GB on the graphics card.

    Seems enough.

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

    My home laptop has 8GB, and (iirc) that's the most any computer in my house has.

    This week, however, I haven't used my home laptop at all, so my "main" PC is probably my work laptop, which has has 16GB to cope with all those pesky VMs I insist on running (seriously, you'd think that working for the IT department would make it easier to get a non-standard laptop, but it was such a struggle to get something that suited my needs...).

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

    16 GB But my next will be 32 GB
    As i built my PC over two years ago, i thought 8 would be enough. But today i realised, 16 GB was the better option.

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

    Machine 1: 16GB ECC DDR3 (2x8GB) - gives me space to host a VM and enough ZFS performance for now, and I could slot in another 16GB if/when I need it.

    Machine 2: 8GB DDR2 (2x4GB) run at a little under 800MHz due to stability issues (even worse with 4 sticks) - just about OK for gaming & general use, but I'm looking to upgrade the whole system to 16 or 32GB ECC DDR4.

    Machine 3: 4GB DDR2 (667MHz) (2x2GB maxed out) - an old laptop on which I never have enough memory, needs at least 16GB

    Machine 4: 2GB DDR2 (2x 1GB maxed out) - an old laptop that I plan to use as a basic living room media centre. Hoping that these days 2GB is still enough...

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

    My desktop only has 8gb of 1600MHz DDR3 RAM from G.Skill, still running great and I havent noticed any issues, although I will probably make the jump to 16gb of DDR4 memory for my next system build

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

    32Gb in my main desktop (Vm work)
    8Gb on my Surface Pro 4
    4Gb on my Dell 8"
    16Gb in TV based NUC (Fast ram can benefit here)

    I'm aware that the speeds afford me hardly anything at all so I ignore the marketing.
