Only 4GB because my cooler is too low to fit any more RAM under, so I have a choice of buying another 4GB and a new cooler, or wasting 4GB and buying 8GB in 2 x 4GB sticks

Don't really want to replace the cooler either, Its a Tuniq Tower 120 Extreme and keeps my Phenom II 965 overclocked to 4GHz at 34c idle and low 50's load, not bad for a ?35 cooler

Currently I only have 8GB and its sufficient for my current tasks. I will be looking to upgrade my machine next year though so will most likely buy 16GB when I do.

8GB(2x4GB) of DDR3-1600. Been thinking about bumping it up to 12GB lately since i find myself somewhat frequently using near to or slightly greater than 7 of my 8GB.

16gb 1600mhz DDR3

I was only intending to buy 8gb (4 x 2) of G.Skill Ripjaw... and then I saw it was only ?30 or so for 8gb... and well, I couldn't help myself at that price.

I gotta say I'm pretty surprised by the poll results. I didn't expect so many people to have 16GB or more and wasn't sure if a single person would have more than 32GB. I guess we have a lot of power users on neowin.

Will be interesting to look at this post when people start talking about TB of RAM instead of GB :)

6GB on my Gaming PC in Triple Channel.

I only really game on my machine, do not do any video or photo editing, and I recently thought about upgrading to 12GB of Ram, but every article I read from places I absolutely trust (tomshardware, guru of 3D) all say that 6GB is STILL plenty for even a gaming computer. I have never even come close to maxing out the RAM being used at any given time, so 6GB does me okay for now, and until it does not, I will keep it that way.

8GB on my Macbook Pro Retina

Pretty self explanatory there. Since OS X does handle Ram a bit differently than Windows, I do feel the more the better there.

Power user? A lot of it being un-used and wasted most of the time. It was just cheap enough to not buy.
