I have 12 GB but in taskmanager Windows never uses more than 7-8 GB due to the amount of sampled instruments I use.

Although I selected 4 GB ram, I'm a multi-PC user, and they all have Win XP. Among my 4 PC I have 'up to' 16 GB ram to work with....assuming that they're all running at the same time, usually I only run one at a time, depending on if I'm working on midi with VSTi's, audio etc.

BTW, I run most audio tracks in PC #1, all VSTi's in PC #2, guitar (soft sims/FX's and 'their' audio tracks) in PC #3, and PC #4 is my 'mix' PC.

Strange ranges there. 15GB belongs to the 8GB option?! Strange especially since you ask how much RAM people USE, not how much they have installed

Anyway, I got 16GB, but it turns out I never use more than 3GB, usually 2.6 according to the Windows hardware monitor or whatever it is called... So on my next computer I will only install 8GB, spread over only two modules so that there is more airflow between them than with 4 modules.

Maybe there should be an option for every x+1 option, 256 options in all

I forgot to add an option for how much RAM a user got hidden in the cupboard, sorry about that.

You don't see many of those around these days

There could be as much as 8 whole MB in that brick add on...

I think 8gb is really the least you'd want with w10 and a mix of music software.

OT, I remember buying 16MB back in the 90's for my mac. No, I said it, 16MB! It was really expensive (several hundred dollars) but it made a big difference

Like I said in the other thread, I've been x64 for a LONG time now. It's been awesome. First I was 8, then went to 16 (just to be on the super safe side) but I don't really use it. But it's there just in case.

Lovely not to worry about it.

QUESTION: Why da fuk are all these ram questions coming up lately? Are there really that many people who don't understand how their PC works?

I use 1 ram. All of 1.
I don't know what size it is, but there is just 1.

I have no control over my RAM usage.
