Hmmm...Do you have virtual memory enabled? I know when i was doing 32Gb ram 32Gb Virtual memory, it would really start dragging around 52Gb. When you get beyond a certain point memory compression may kick in depending on the OS and settings. Personally 128Gb ram and no VM, i sometimes get a 'you don't have the memory to save to the ramdrive' or a program will refuse to run (
ffmpeg or 7zip) when asking it to pick up a 10Gb block of ram. (
I do enjoy doing a lot of temporary work on a ramdrive...)
Heh, and i remember when i had 8Gb and upgraded to 16Gb, then i'd load all of Skyrim on the ramdrive and run it in 12Gb while using 4Gb for the OS and game (
in 2015). Fun times. As long as the motherboard supports it, getting 64Gb or 128Gb ram is worth the investment, it's not that expensive compared to ram being $50/meg back early 90's. Right now it's more like $2/Gig.
Here's
the video i saw regarding the PC; But looking it up again now says it's 64Gb or 96Gb which kinda defeats the point of it as i'd really want 64/64 or 80/48 or 96/32 splits. Though the 64 one is on sale for $1500 right now. So LLM and processing may be worth it. Says it's integrated AMD RADEON 8090S iGPU, something on par with a 4060 laptop GPU. That's probably strong enough.
