Why the fuck do people have 16gb+ of ram? Why not just have 8gb and then create a swap partition/page file for another 8gb? Why waste over $200 on overpriced colluded ram when your spare hard drive space is basically free potential ram?
Why the fuck do people have 16gb+ of ram...
swap is a lot slower than ram
To avoid swapping.
Number2 is a great artist
god i want to fuck her
It's useful if you run shit in vms or if you use more than one tab in chrome/Firefox :^)
For using Gentoo and compiling everything in tmpfs, of course.
Because I do actual work on my PC, user.
16 GB of DDR3 costs around $120, not $200
She's not legal.
16GB of DDR4 3200 only cost me like $80
Because I use Windows.
you don't need more than 4 gigs of RAM, that's a fact
>having zero understanding of RAM while posting on Jow Forums
Using the very fastest SSD would be infinitely slower than RAM, let alone a HDD. This is EXACTLY why RAM is even used in computers in the first place.
If you've ever run out of GPU VRAM while gaming, you'll see things literally become a 1fps slideslow, and that's basically the equivalent of what happens to an OS/software when all the RAM is taken up and disk swapping has to be used. Such a fucking retarded question OP.
woah, back off creep

Because this is hell and I'm ready to die.
Room temp IQ OP.
>over 200 burgers
should've bought 16gb kit when it was less than 80 burgers
>swap partition
Swapping is slow. If there is ever a point where you can expect your computer to use more than 8 GB of RAM, you should buy the fucking extra RAM.
I bought 32GiB of RAM specifically so I don't have to use swap.
I have 128GB of RAM. I bought it before the prices started to rise, for around ~$500 USD.
in my case I NEEDED 16gb of ram for my CS class
I had 16 GB in 2013. No really.
Back when "good" computers had 4GB or maybe 8GB.

nice meme
nice naime girl
Nice move, except that by the time all that RAMS becomes usefull you'll have like DDR200 in the market....
Cause I have a job and make money
16GB? What do you need 8GB for? 4GB should be enough for anybody. Here's 40 bucks kiddo, go buy a 2 gig stick.
But she's a ship
