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 :)

Ram is so cheap anymore. it was cheaper for me to upgrade my system to 12gb then it would've been to just get 6 or 8.

but i think 8gb is more than you'll never really need.
Just feels cool to have alot lol

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.
