I see, so no issue there. I fear the need to buy 4x16 haha. Great so a 2x8gb similar will do. Thanks

Will be using Adobe suites and rendering softwares
Try to get 32GB. It's the sweet spot for RAM-hungry Adobe programs like After Effects and Premiere Pro.

64GB and up Adobe doesn't really know how to fully utilize the RAM anymore.

Depends on O/S, not all 64 bit Windows support 32GB of system ram.

8gb is enough mah unless you run alot of programs.

Meh.. nope.. just need premiere pro cc and after effects cc tgt, side by side and it's enough to bust ur rams. Today did editing and experienced this again.. apparently 16 also not enough for me lol :s22::s13:

U can set to half give Adobe half keep for system use, just that Adobe rendering/exporting/footage scrubbing performance will suffer lor...
