Ex: My 4 GB of OC'd ram, I have 3 allocated to the Tekkit server, 1 to my own instance of minecraft, and if we do any crazy building, say a 30 x 64 quarry leading back to a mild distribution/separation room. So, my advice for the op is if you plan to ever run your own minecraft server (even if it is for 1-4 of your close friends). I thought 4 was ok, until I started hosting my own Minecraft server.
#8gb vs 16gb ram multitasking Pc
A pc now would barely function on 1 GB of ram if you do anything more than web browse or play bejeweled. 16 Gigs of RAM? Did I fall asleep since 1-4 was the norm?yes.
When it comes to multitasking, well the 16Gb will be future proof for the coming 3-4 years if your going multitasking. As you can see on the Benchmark, 8gb is as good as the 16gb on the 64bit client of Half Life 2 when tested, and on 32bit client games, theres no differents. 8Gb will ne enough.īut to answer your basic question, 16 Gb is overkill atm, 8Gb will be enough. Other than that, 32bit client games wont use more than 2 GB, there is only few that can use up to 3-4 gb with large adress aware.
#8gb vs 16gb ram multitasking upgrade
Also will you lose performance if you have 16GB and you aren't fully utilization it? Last thing will having 16GB 'future proof' your PC (I don't plan to upgrade for at least 2 years) or is there no foreseeable use for 16GB on the horizon?The only performance you will see is if the Game is a 64-bit client.
I play mostly games but I always have a few internet windows open on in the background along with email/Vent/Spotify/Skype. So soon I'm building a new computer and I'm wondering if I should stick with 8GB memory or up it too 16 GB (since memory if fairly cheap now).
