I just now upgraded to 64GB of DDR4 from eBay. But that’s because my Blender projects were getting really big and I’d crashed a few times. Linux is awesome but is really scary how it just hard-freezed or mercilessly thrashes when low on memory. 😬
…That and I finally get glorious RGB RAM lighting up my case. :D weee!
For gaming? I haven’t seen that much RAM be usedul yet.
And in Blender… likely because I have a crazy amount of undo levels enabled and have Firefox open…a few tabs…maybe more than a few tabs…maybe a lot of tabs…
You’re right! I think…I don’t have a swap partition on this machine. I think I was gonna set up a swap file but that was a bit more involved post-install than I wanted to delve into at the time…
…but I did get ZRAM working, and that’s pretty amazing! It feels like getting more RAM for free haha.
It wasn’t the most absolutely necessary upgrade in the world, but I feel like it gives me more room to get away with dumb things and course correct in things like Blender, and might come in handy down the line since I don’t see myself upgrading much for a while.

That’s what the swap partition is for?
Hey I wanted my RGB sticks okay?! Jk hahaha.
