Holy Cows - Laptops with more than 16GB Memory ram wow

[GohanSSJ]

Server is pretty much useless.

My brother is running a server with 4, it's a dual atom 1.6, has 10 HDD's in it (8x2TB raid 6, 2x 80GB 2.5inch raid 0), hosts the network of about 25 local and virtual network computers including 4 servers.
Very few personal servers have this kind of traffic, yet it runs on pretty much jack poop.

Personally I would advice to get 16GB now if you build a gaming PC, even if you don't need 8 of it yet, the fact is that it's so cheap, that it's too good to pass up. The extra memory definitely doesn't hurt for such prices.

and this laptop is pretty ugly IMHO lol

If your Windows is 32bits, then it can't handle more than 8GB.

This is a great PC tho, even when people says that it's worthless.

4gb*

How much RAM can Windows 7 even utilize?

Is it even worth it to go beyond 8GB of RAM yet?

Windows 7 = 192GB, 2008 R2 = 2TB.

This should be moved to the tech zone btw.

You can use 192 GB Ram on a 32 bit system by utilising a kernel hack that forces PAE to work, even enabling PAE /force doesn't actually allow more than 4 GB because there's an inbuilt cap to prevent using more than 4 GB Ram in a 32bit system, but the kernel hack only unlocks more total Ram, applications still can only run 2 GB (3 GB with some settings) Ram each and 64 bit applications still can't run.
At least you can run multiple applications that total to more of 4 GB Ram Usage

But you wouldn't do that... You'd just use 64-bit instead... Not to mention this has absolutely no relation to the rest of the thread.

Gonna move this to tech zone if everyone's okay with that...

 

[Junkers]

I'm cool with it.

And lol at 16GB RAM. Enjoy your overkill.

 

[Darksta]

These days its so cheap it doesn't matter if its overkill lol.

I couldn't agree more, if someone wants 16GB ram then why shouldn't they have it, after all it is their system.

RAM after 4GB is completely useless imo, use the money on something else :/ unless of course you do need all the extra memory only used in extensive projects

My many years old motherboard supports 16GB RAM and it's nothing new IMO.
Motherboard can support 32GB RAM and what idea is stack RAM if your processor and other components are poop. My personal use of computer doesn't need 100x of Dreamweavers and Photoshops run sametime so 4-8GB RAM is enough (for me).

 

[DarkKnightH20]

16gb is pretty unnecessary unless you do lots of work with VMware or other varieties and need to open a crap loads of VM's at the same time.

And even then...

I'm only now upgrading my desktop to 4gb's This is a Q6600 + 8800gt combo with 2 gb's of ram. Going to format my Windoz XP and put Windoz 8 on it or something.

Taken from my one of my pcs a few minutes ago
4 GB is acceptable but 8 GB is by no means useless it's increasingly becoming standard
It's a single SQL Server that is taking most of the Ram on the picture, no VM Ware no Photoshop
