Performance Tests Show That 16GB of RAM Is Overkill for Most People

Adding more memoryisnt the performance upgrade it used to be, but how much RAM is enough?

Even with demanding programs that take up 12GB of system memory, 16GB didnt improve performance by that much.

Even playing memory-hogging games with Chrome running in the background (with 65 active tabs open!)

shows little impact on performance with the higher memory, thanks to the way Windows handles system memory.
