Jump to unread Post a CommentI can't believe that you'd need that much RAM in one machine though, if I bought this it would be to upgrade my laptops to 12GB (8GB + the 4GB already in the other slot) - I've found 2GB is still plenty for most moderate office workloads and internet browsing! I only have 4GB+ in the gaming machines and media PC.

I don't see anyone needing more than 8GB in this day and age. (6gb would be plenty but we always like to double-up :p)
32bit programs are limited to less than 4gb anyway. Even on a 64bit PC. Simply put anything in your Program Files (x86) can't use more than 4gb of ram (Browsers, almost every game, email clients.. Generally everything)

32 bit______________32 bit_____________1.7 GB
32 bit______________64 bit_____________3.2 GB
64 bit______________64 bit_____________as much RAM as you can fit into your computer
As most applications are 32bit they would be limited to "3.2 GB" regardless on how much RAM your system has. Like the little chart says on true 64 bit applications on a 64 bit PC can use more RAM :)
Plus make sure your laptop can even support this much memory!
Probably only the newest / high end models can

True my thinkpad E530 ivy bridge has had these for a while without issues, although the spec sheet UK said 16gb max, US said 8 gb max, Crucial scan said it could only take 8gb.
If you do have ivy bridge then you would be very unlucky not to be able to get this on your machine
Wow, what a helpful comment. If you want 16GB of RAM, this is good value.

It's easy to use more than 8GB. Start SQL Server, Visual Studio, a browser, Evernote, Visio and Word.
So-dimms are not just for laptops. Some desktops also use them.
But if you must have 16GB then so be it - this is the deal for you.
Pointless over 8GB IMHO.

You would need a substantial database and project open to consume that much RAM.. Why you would have that stored on your home PC is beyond me
What use is it there? Use an external server :p
A browser, evernote Visio and Word maybe able to use a gig between them
My browser with a load of tabs barley even scrapes 512mb
This is a Laptop we're talking about, you'd need some expensive laptop to do this on and not go insane while compiling (_;)
I have the Corsair version of the above and it works great in my Dell l702x

Why is it a home PC? Some people work on laptops. Recent high spec laptops massively outperform even 2 year old desktops, especially with an SSD. If you are doing development on the move, it's essential to run them locally.
And you said it - A browser, evernote Visio and Word maybe able to use a gig between them - if I only had 4GB of RAM, that would be a quarter of my RAM gone!!!
16GB is absolute overkill though!
