HUGE RAM

[Jordy]

Actually it would cost only $1200 for 32GB.

ONLY?! You could build a reasonable gaming computer for that.

Ummm. No, your wrong. It costs atleast $400 for one 4GB stick.

Who says you need to use 4GB sticks? Server boards have 8+ DIMM slots.

Unless you think that an 8-core can hold 16 sticks? That would be really embarassing.

Edit: If your multitasking especially rendering videos/graphics, 16GB is baseline for extreme tasks.

DDR-DDR3 makes a big difference; DDR2-3 does not.

I suggest x8 2GB sticks depending on your uses.

Please just leave this technology forum.

Look, The only time I maxed out my computer was when I was encoding videos, and then it was only maxing out my CPU and not the RAM, 4GB will do you just fine.

Nope, well I dont know It's apparently called Big Business Desktop Computer IT etc.

The way you said that makes me think you're using a server which has a monitor attached to it So I guess you may need that much RAM, but still sounds odd...
Also, Aces said something in the last page about a really good/extreme gaming PC that can multitask, so I'm guessing he doesn't need that much RAM, about 4 GB really?

Just to expand on Tawm's point.

Actually only 2GB is needed.. 4GB is either needed when

1. You just want to make sure.
2. You don't need 4GB but you just want your PC specs to sound c00l (like me)
