Unless you plan to run Bloomberg and a full trading setup 16gb of ram in windows is heavy user spec.
Opening task manager and checking if windows is using more than 16gb is not a method to tell how much you should spec, my PC has 128gb ram with page file disabled and regularly sits at 40gb ram, because windows will allocate ram if there is ram to allocate.
I run 1000s of users on vdi 4/16 is more than enough for 99% of users.
- Dalewyn 4y agoI was using a 16GB RAM Windows machine as a daily until last year, I upgraded that to 32GB because I was routinely capping out and thrashing the page file. I've since upgraded from that machine to a new build with 64GB of RAM simply because so many programs demand too much RAM now, and I hate even the mere thought of hitting swap.
