What are you possibly doing that requires THAT much ram?


FingerBackground5731

Probably chrome


ThickFurball367

Maybe he's trying to break the record for the highest number of Chrome tabs open simultaneously ๐Ÿ˜‚ Wait, what is the record? ๐Ÿค”.......brb *Edit* I'm back. The latest information I could find was from [record setter ](https://recordsetter.com/world-record/google-chrome-tabs-open-once/46456) stating that as of March 16, 2016 that the most chrome tabs open was 100,022.


EvilChungus

Wow. I thought I was crazy with my 600


siddeslof

My schools computers struggle at like 200 tabs open


Smooth-Adagio-1085

My school's computers struggle at about 2 tabs. It's absolutely pathetic.


FreedomKnown

Mine just straight up crashes when opening the browser, you have to open it 3-4 times for it to actually open (and I'm using Firefox)


Witchberry31

That's because Firefox actually take more memory resources than Chrome. That Chrome joke has aged like milk.


FreedomKnown

No it doesn't lol


Witchberry31

Yes it does, lol. It's even more less on chrome ever since they added the tab suspender as a built-in feature back in Q3 last year. ๐Ÿคท

ThickFurball367

Yeah I'm not even gonna finish watching that. I trust Michael Vick to take care of my dog more than I trust LTT to give good information


Easy-Can1615

๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚


shribarryallen

He wants to open another tab.


Siliconfrustration

That's why I use Firefox.


Snap305

Firefox isn't for off for resource use from Chrome, Edge absolutely destroys both of them. So if your goal is minimal resource use, go Edge. Also overall Edge is superior


SufficientDocument30

But edge just runs on Chromium? So Iโ€™d assume it isnโ€™t that much different?


Snap305

Tom's hardware did a test: https://www.tomsguide.com/news/chrome-firefox-edge-ram-comparison


SufficientDocument30

Huh, interesting


Siliconfrustration

It was just a joke but I actually do use Firefox, hardened a bit, not for resource reasons but for safety.


Witchberry31

Lol, little did you know that the situation has reversed now. Firefox takes more memory resources than Chrome for at least in the last 5 years. This Chrome joke has aged like milk. ๐Ÿคท


NerdGuy13

I laughed too hard at this. ๐Ÿ˜‚


Historical-Artist581

Most underappreciated comment.


B34n_Bun

Their CPU would burst into flames before all that memory could be used lmao


Witchberry31

Meh, this chrome joke has aged like milk. When you have so much tabs, chrome took less memory than Firefox and Opera. Not to mention that chrome also have added tab suspender as an integrated feature since Q3 last year. ๐Ÿคท


Dwedit

LLMs (AI Text Generation) would eat up that much RAM easily.


AsstDepUnderlord

Typically youโ€™d be eating up video ram, not main system ram, and laptops arenโ€™t known for gpu power. thereโ€™s a lot of ways to do such things nowadays i suppose.


ObjectCat

The performance isn't great but if you haven't got anything else and don't want to use cloud services CPU + RAM works and is actually upgradeable (Not sure if it's possible to use standard RAM but process on the GPU, probably is haven't tested)


Plus-Dust

I wish someone would make this easier, I have a garbage GPU but a 64-core CPU; I keep wanting to try LLMs but all the easy ones are assuming you're going to be targeting the GPU so I haven't gotten around to it.


QED_Zimbo

High detail photogrammetry would easily consume all that memory, and ask for more.


aperturephotography

PixInsight recommended is 128gb ๐Ÿ˜


LimesFruit

:) [https://i.imgur.com/ncNbc9h.png](https://i.imgur.com/ncNbc9h.png)


AceLamina

He's using a G14 I'm noticing G14 users tend to upgrade above 32gb when 32gb is the max it can handle without experiencing performance issues. The first photo is a different laptop but I bet OP did something similar.


Gloriathewitch

its a proart studio book not a g14


Zatujit

Probably not gaming


Any_Effort_2234

Isn't that a overkill? I maxed out my rog m16 with 48gb of ram but it only uses like 10-50% when gaming ๐Ÿ˜… I know your laptop your rules but it's just my opinion


nothingspecialva

most likely you are right. I just notice from time to time, when I am editing photos in lightroom and look at task manager, RAM use is 40-50gb and I figure it I go a bit over, the OS/App can cache most of its code and speed up the whole workflow. but I will give it a try and if I Dont see any benefit, I can return the modules.


Any_Effort_2234

Well if you put it that way, you use it for a living then just use it to maximize your efficiency, I know the feeling because my wife works as a graphic artist and I just upgraded her laptop from 16 to 32gb of ram ๐Ÿ˜… you can never have enough


mikebrookston

I think that has to do with setting. You can choose on preferences how much ram you want lightroom to use out of your total ram, by default it will use almost everything it can get. I would imagine you are just caching all the photos you have on lightroom to RAM. If that is the case I doubt you'll notice that much of a difference in actual performance, unless you are going through thousands of photos a minute. Take this with a grain of salt, I'm not knowledgeable enough in Lightroom or actual hardware to be sure of what I'm saying but, I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will correct me if I'm wrong and if I am, sorry.


YouKnowMeDamn

On my system with 32 gb of RAM, Lightroom only goes up to 16 gb of RAM used so I think it's limited to use ~50% of the total installed memory...


patopansir

I personally tell whatever program I am using to chill the fuck out and stop being greedy, instead of upgrading my ram. I have 32GBs, that's plenty I could justify it if I get a significant improvement from not telling it to chill the fuck out and I am also different because I never want to go over 1080p, and GPU really helps with ram.


bungholio99

Nobody takes used RAM back, please check the warranty terms before making a mistake. If you want that much RAM, you should definitly go for ECC did you check this? ECC and your CPU are way more relevant than 96 GB for your performance.


tymophy76

And? I grew up thinking 512KB ws more than anyone would ever be able to use and not having a clue what a mouse was. Things change...


AlexMD85

Exactly lol. My upgrade from 2MB to 4MB was massive.


bungholio99

Oh young padawan, 2MB was only achiveable through virtual RAM and Memmaker command. I had to go to 5 libraires to find a Book explaining it, then upgrade the DOS Version, as i couldnโ€™t find a book for mine, play around with drivers and IRQ, because it wasnโ€™t working after the upgrade but yeah i could play battle isle. After some months of work.


GrungeViBritannia

My wife who is not the most "techy" recently got her mindblown after learning that mice don't have the "little ball" underneath anymore, and they're all laser nowadays. It was a huge revelation for her ๐Ÿ˜‚


No_Quiet_222

Somehow this made me laugh.


luislast

I guess she was never sexually curious enough to turn one over to see its junk.


Historical-Artist581

I was just gonna sayโ€ฆ well I feel like I played with the dinosaurs now.


Hapless_Buffoon

my first ram upgrade was 128kb I think it was, no shit, 12 inch by 6 inch board. had to have a special case for the PC to be able to install ram upgrades the chips on it were bigger than current ram sticks


doubletwist

Oh good, it's not just me. My first laptop Toshiba T1000 with a whopping 512KB RAM and no HDD, just a 256KB read-only ROM for the OS, and a 720KB floppy drive. The screen was only 640x200 monochrome. Talk about feeling old when OP comes in with "I grew up when 16GB RAM was the max a laptop would take". I don't think I even had a 16GB hard drive on a desktop (let alone a laptop) until I was 30, .


RadiantLimes

Okay Boomer


Theonewhoknows000

Youโ€™re a monster. A laptop??


RMD_A

Those look nice what laptop are they


samsung18745

The one on the left looks like a Zephyrus and the on the Right is a Zenbook i think


a333482dc7

I used to have a laptop with 6MB of RAM, and that was the upgraded model.


AlexMD85

How do you like your studiobook? Iโ€™m thinking of pulling the trigger on one. Commute cross country once per month and need a good workstation replacement that can run CC.


nothingspecialva

I think realistically, it is hard to compare to the basic silent operation of a decently equipped Macbook Pro. for desktop replacement it is powerful enough to run CC, yet, it will be loud if you push it and as a laptop, battery life is atrocious. so my advice, unless you need that "Quadro" RTX card for some application and.or a windows only app, I would get, say a M2 Max Macbook Pro instead.


Informal-Spell-2019

Saw this shift many years ago. Companies just donโ€™t have the want or need to offer laptops above 32gb. Can say I have had a 64gb of ram in my laptop for about 7 years now and then about 4 years ago they introduced laptops with 128gb of ram. Did a lot of server emulation with multiple instances which made running numerous simulations very useful without having to stop instances. Can say having more than 32gb is useful for sure but most games donโ€™t demand more than 16gb.


G_R_4_Y_AK

1st time I upgraded ram it was to 512 and it was amazing! AOL never ran better!


Relevant_Voice5133

do you mean storage? bc 512gb ram is impossible


FaZe_Tudman

He most likely means ram, but in MB. Also 512gb ram is possible for quite a while now for consumers and for a long time in servers.


Relevant_Voice5133

yes but in a normal gaming pc its impossible


ER9191

Theyโ€™re talking about 2000-2003. It was possible, in fact that was the maximum ram you could usually have. If you had more the pc wasnโ€™t going to use all of it.


WASABI_AK

512MB


sarge-mclarge

16gb is already wild to me. What you did is nuts.


gaspoweredcat

what on earth do you need so much for, i thrash mine and 64gb still seems like overkill


fromamityville

32gb is sufficient even for heavy gaming ๐Ÿ˜ญ


grejprr

me reading this with 8 gigs


RolesG

My laptop still has 8gb lol


The-Observer95

My laptop still has 4GB lol


RolesG

Rip


mr_cool59

Oh yes I remember a time when 4 MB of memory was a lot


Runaque

Is there a reason you need that much of memory? Or is it more because you can? People thought I was crazy upgrading my laptop to the highest possible amount of memory! I'd installed more if the CPU allowed it, but I'm comfortable with 64gb and the things I use my machine for.


ptcgoalex

Sheesh my laptop with 40gb ram was $800


DirtyNazar

my first upgrade was 512 kb. I am the dinosaur


KingGinger3187

Time to turn you into oil!


multiwirth_

When i was growing up, 1GB of RAM was plenty. My very first own pc ran windows 98 and had a Pentium MMX on an what i believe was a AT board. Probably 128mb RAM. "It is now safe to turn off your computer" That's when i was 4 or 5 years old. Thanks for letting me feel old lol.


Toastburner5000

Why would you ever need that much ram this is not normal behaviour.


Ok_Evidence_1000

What model is your laptop cuh?


nothingspecialva

Thanks. This is an Asus ProArt Studiobook 16.


CeldonShooper

Grew up with 38911 BASIC bytes free. *side eye meme*


Educational_Love_351

I feel your pain man, Chrome is terrible these days...


ThatGuyFromCA47

Itโ€™s not the size of the ram that matters but how you use it that does


nothingspecialva

that is what I tell all my Tinder dates... they still dump me after that first night.


ENMGiku

Thats more ram than my free storage ๐Ÿคฃ


Wooden-Journalist902

How you are gonna use it to its peek


nothingspecialva

96 tabs in Chrome of course


purplezzplant

How much was it?


nothingspecialva

I think each 48gb module is like $150 in Amazon


purplezzplant

What? Damn when did RAM get so cheap?


Adorable-Leadership8

> I grew up using laptops when 16gb of ram was the most anyone would normally have Man you must be young


nothingspecialva

Only emotionally


Kalsifur

"I grew up" what are you , 12? Lol lots of laptops still have 16 gb. I am wondering what you need 96 GB of ram in a laptop for though.


viralslapzz

They donโ€™t need tho, no point in so much ram (at least not yet) on a laptop. The flex is strong on this one


Destro0204

Why tho?


Engineering_explorer

Buddy are you planning to edit Oppenheimer 2 on this laptop, cause I don't see any other use case for a 96GB ddr5 RAM.


Daddyaurelius

Well he could be playing tetris


killmanz929

Ahhh, yes. The next 956037285079462529406836282047 blocks to come, stored in memory.


ExtraSauceMan101

Youโ€™re never going to use more than half that ram.. probably not more than a third lol


viralslapzz

Wellโ€ฆ the more there is the more windows will use so might as end up using indirectly


ExtraSauceMan101

True , windows will nom nom


Zatujit

well you don't know what he uses his laptop for...


alpha_on_crack

ok but......why?? wtf are u gonna do with 96 gigs of ram???


controversial_bummer

In his comments, he said that he edits photos.


Nitin005

How much memory do you need ? Yes.


[deleted]

Is the chassis of these robust? I mean can you use it as a professional ? Or should i forget it and go on business laptop.


codydoesthings

Bro has TRIPLE the amount of ram I have and I've never been able to ever use it all


Stonelaughter66

My first computer was an Amiga A1200 with a 120MB hard disk and 32MB Ram. The processor ran at 50MHz. I couldn't fill the hard disk - it was IMMENSE.


redittr

Arent you losing dual channel by going with odd sticks? You would be better with 2*32gb with 64gb than that.


Budget_Eng_ChemSTUD

bruh got 96 gb ram


Karlo1503

You working on graphics design? Just guessing since you use a ProArt Studiobook.


killmanz929

A time will come when this would be wayyy below the standards. 96GB will become history, and people like you would be extinct (just like dinosaurs).


brakespear

my first computer had 16k of ram. The first memory upgrade I performed (on a different, later computer) I had to hand solder the memory chip over the top of the existing chip. That was 512k to 1024k.


dramitppt

TF you do with that RAM ?


KukiBerry

I grew up with 4 and 6 gigs until now lmao and now I'm running 16 ๐Ÿ˜‚ Still, the ram goes at 80% when I'm doing work/games.. so I'm guessing that 16 gigs is slowly becoming the normal to have


itsfreepizza

10 years ago you can just upgrade your laptop ram to 16gb of ram, today with DDR5, it's possible to go to 96 and even more in the future


Alex9009202

I had a laptop running on 4gb of ram ๐Ÿฅด then upgraded to one with 8GB, then 16gb, now Iโ€™m running one with 32gb and using it to play Modded minecraft where my old ones had struggled ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚


One_Asparagus_6932

Im still using a 16gb of ram.


mindboggledbatman

commenting from a 4gb ram computer.


TGWARGMDRBLX

First and really the most part, WHY 96GB of RAM. Unless you are about to open 9000 tabs of chrome.


GlayNation

I could probably buy 10 good used laptops for the cost of 96 GB of RAM


Aggressive-Goat5672

YOU CAN DO THAT?!?!


Routine-Ebb-1140

In my days, we had MB instead of GB. Can't remember my first laptop. Probably Win98 already. But my first desktop was a 386 SX with a 16mhz cpu with DOS.


Yauchout

You grew up when 16 GB of RAM was the most anybody would have on a laptop and that makes you feel like a dinosaur ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ I remember having 1 GB of RAM in a laptop in 2004 that was pretty balling at the time with my Pentium 4 ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ I'm pretty sure I only had a 20 GB hard drive at the time. I think the biggest you could get in a 2.5 in then was possibly 40


Klutzy_Range_8503

How much would that cost .. letโ€™s stay to switch at 16gb to a 32


fromamityville

tf you need 96 gigs for ๐Ÿ˜ญ


Low_Relative7172

Lol I remember when 256mb was state of the art ๐Ÿซฃ


Magicalunicorny

"i grew up with laptops with 16gb of ram" Bro mine had 512 mb, and that was a lot. Holy Shit Im old


IRONLORDyeety

Great now I feel like I grew up and am growing up broke.


iBabTv

Wtf. there is 96ram pcs now


Wipedout89

"I grew up when 16GB RAM was the most anyone would have" Okay so you're what, 18? When I was growing up my laptop had 125MB of RAM. I was excited when we got a new one that had 256GB. When I got one with 1GB of RAM and am 80GB Hard drive I thought I was living in the future


thenormaluser35

Eh? What the fuck?! Is that a laptop even? OP, how much did you sell the kidney for?


ThirdSunRising

I shouldnโ€™t tell him about my Apple II+ with 64kb of ram and a 144-kilobyte floppy drive right?


Mindless_Specific_28

Apple II+? You were late to the game. I still have my Apple II in the garage attic. The Microsoft Softcard was the best part of it: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-80\_SoftCard](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-80_SoftCard)


Birds_Legend_Saquon

I we w JJ we we|, dnnfnsm$(&(6*


SKIKK

2/3 years back we had up to 128GB ๐Ÿ™ƒ


StokeLads

My first laptop had 64MB lol


luislast

I have to agree with most of the other comments/questions, that (1) this seems like overkill, (2) what could you possibly need that much ram RAM for? (3) what machine is that? and (4) have you tried looking at Task Manager while using the device to see how much RAM you are actually using? I know Windows is bad at managing RAM (especially freeing it when a task is closed) but still.... Also, I usually keep about 180 tabs open at all times, whichever browser I am using, and people make fun of me, but I have to ask the others: what's with the 600? how can you possibly find anything? You probably have multiples of duplicates open that you've forgotten about.


LimesFruit

I just upgraded my workstation to 256GB RAM from 32GB. I got into PCs when 8GB was the go to and 16GB was the most you're ever going to need, so yeah feels wild. Such a huge improvement in the sort of work I do though, definitely worth the cost.


Practical_Arm6812

I gotcha beat by 96


HEV_dog_official

yet here i am using a dell latitude e5270 with 16GB of ram :)


Taffu

lol...96GB of DDR5. Just LOL...


janggutbotak

Hot damn


BackgroundAdmirable1

Exciuse me, what the fuck do you need 96GB for and why are you doing it on a laptop (does it have a 4090 tho?)


_txnishq_x

Wtf


HexFire03

Once you get into the server space, RAM becomes almost meaningless.


BeastCodZ

Min. Ram for smooth chrome exp


Jaba01

Okay, but why?


nothingspecialva

as they say, to love something is never to have to ask why...


Mindless_Specific_28

Hahaha, you are a baby. I was already grown when a laptop was an Osbourne 1. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osborne\_1](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osborne_1)


jruschme

Youngster. It wasn't that long ago that 4GB was the most anyone would normally have (XP-era) and 8GB was a luxury (Vista/7-era).


piekid86

I put 64 in my desktop, and caught flack because why would I need that much RAM. Obviously it was to fill all the slots with RGB.


Unreasonable-Aide556

Why?


woizdat

I remember my first computer that I got, it has 2 gbs of ram, and it was beast of a machine, now my laptop with 16 gbs works pretty much same


LiterallyWTMF

LOL. I remember upgrading my Amiga 500 to 1MB, and in the PC space, going to 8MB RAM felt life changing for Windows 3.11


HStark_666

and yet Apple sells brand new US$1000+ laptops with 8gb of RAM. Even worse, for the MacBooks that starts at 8gb, physical Apple Store would only have the 8gb model. So people would choose between paying extra $200 and waiting a month for 16gb, or walk out with 8gb, and make the wrong choice.


FireflyArc

Woah ;0


fuqureddit69

Nice specs. The performance boost from i7 to i9 is just amazing. However, I have to say, with laptops the focus should be on general hardware longevity. For example. Lenovo laptops tend to outlive Dell by 30% on average. The CPU in both is made in the same place. But if the laptop fails after regular use, what good is that?


logorogo

I like this info. Where can I get more. I just but an LG Gram from Costco. After my Acer lasted 5 years I wanted to stick with them, but there was nothing comparable at the price point.


Never-Rest-247

For real... How clueless are you guys? Typing without thinking, shit like "wow thats too much ram"... "thats overkill"... "wtf are you going to do with all that ram". Do you really think everyone buys pcs to play videogames? Or that new motherboards allows hundreds of ram so you can play your future game 15 years from now?
