I have 20 gigs in my desktop and 16 in my laptop and I don't play video games.

I have a question, guys. I read on gaming sites that more than 8 GB of ram is overkill. Is this true? Opinions wanted.....
I had 28 GB installed and reduced it to 16 after I read than more than 8 is overkill.
Probably stated by people who are jealous because they don't have more than 8 ....or think they are using a game-only console.
If you do more than 'just' play solitaire you'll easily find circumstances where 8 is patently inadequate.
Example...currently of my 32 gig 22.3 is being used.

Yes, 8 is minimalist at this point. At what is basically an idle, I've got 5 soaked up right now. When your internet browser can use a gig of ram, you can't do much of anything with less. The more games get away from 32 bit limitations, the more 16 will be the low end of gaming machines. I'll be doing 64 on my next system, it's too big of an unknown factor for me to do 32 again. It would be very easy for a game like Ashes or GC3 to utilize 30 plus gigs of ram running super large maps.

Put your other twelve back in that depends on how many opponents you want or how big you like your maps.

I play games, but not online. I play alone.

8 GB is not overkill these days IMO. I wish I had 16 GB for GalCiv 3!
