RIP :(
I just bought a new desktop computer today to use for my photography instead of a laptop. It can with 8GB of memory but has a maximum of 32GB. Windows 8, 64bit (do they even still have 32bit systems) It has 4 slots for memory and two are in use with 4gb each. I was thinking of adding two 8gb sticks of memory for a total of 24GB. Is this overkill for what I am using it for? Would 16Gb be enough? I did some searches about memory and found so many opinions ranging from 8gb is all you will ever need to fill it up with all you can. One guy had 96gb in his. Hopefully we have some people here that have upgraded from 8gb to more so it would be nice to hear from them on if it was worth it.
