Should I upgrade my ram to 32?

[Syphon_Filter]

My motherboard BIOSTAR TPOWERX79 it supports DDR 3 amd up to 32GB of ram and right now, I have 16GB of ram. Should I upgrade that to 32 or no?

[Rekmon]

Unless you're actually going to use anywhere near that much then why? If you are then why not?

[MjW]

I guess you can always make a partition and install some programs onto it but if you don't know if you should upgrade or not then you probably don't need to.

Not really all my games and or applications doesn't use and need more than 2GB of ram lol. I just was wondering than I guess no need.

with 16GB of RAM you could run 100 applications or so at the same time
especially with those specs

you could probably run multiple games at the same time

Don't be a mindless consumer. Unless you're going to use it - say you take up 3D modeling or paint super high resolution art - then it's absolutely not necessary and a waste of your money.

Unless you're rendering your own 3D graphics or something then no... you will never use that ever.

[PS3!!!!!]

I just realized we have almost the same specs! Even the same mobo :P
Im running with 8gigs and that seems to be more than enough for everything I do.

Like everyone said, unless your doing some cs5/6 work then you wouldnt need it.

If you got an upgrade hankering then put a SSDin that bad boy!!

No point of getting 32gb when you cant even use all those 16gb you got. I got 8gb and could barely even max it out.

[itachi73378]

I've never maxed my 4GB

I never will do rendering thing. Just playing games and thats all.

Windows 7 is limited to 16GB anyway so even if you had 64GB RAM you wouldn't be able to use it. I think even the Ultimate edition is gimped to 32GB while I know Linux can use up to 128GB RAM so far. I want to use 32GB myself as I render a lot but alas unless I spend money on the ultimate edition or switch to Linux I'll be stuck to 16GB, even on Windows 8 I'm stuck at 16GB (not touching that though!).

Home premium is limited to 16GB Everything above it is 192GB

Nice one keefy. I thought 32GB sounded a bit strange.

[LfCpS3]

Yea that is just throwing money away.

[John25]

like others have said unless you are doing any kind of intensive Video Editing or running high end ICE enhancer mods on GTA4 it would be pointless to have 32 GB .my Mobo supports 32GB too but I Doubt I will ever go beyond the 8GB I have now as I have never used it all on anything so far.

Like everyone has said you don't need it, at 16gb you'll be good. I remember i would max out my 4gb and 8gb upgrade, but I can tell you I love my 32gb.(which I'll be upgrading to 64gb)
