Arithmetic mean! ;)

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

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.

    • I'm not unblocking my camera for this crapola. Sorry, Google.
    • Ummmm that is what is it supposed to do. Just turn if off in settings if you do not want it analyzing your open tabs. Chrome does the same thing with Gemini. Sarfari will do the samething after Apple's AI and even more so with the release of their 27 versions that is now powered by Googles LLM/ML models. Understanding why it is doing it and how it can help you vs jumping to some conspiracy theroy is a much better approach. As long as it can be turned off, all is good. Yes the default should be off but the a lot of people would never discover these features.
    • Just another reason (aside from many others) not to use Edge. Firefox 153.0b5 DEx64 has a similar feature added recently in prior builds that I will turn off at some point when I get around to it. It's the new "Something looks suspicious" page that pops up here and there. It cleverly hides itself between web pages that I've actually visited; as a result, you know, of selecting a web page and telling the browser where to go. The interesting thing is that it does not produce these warnings from pages that I, as the only intelligent user of the browser in my system, have ever directed the browser to open! What seems to be happening is that the browser looks at all the goofy ad links on a web page I do actually open and selects one that "looks suspicious" and then creates the "something looks suspicious" web page, which is neatly inserted, as mentioned, between web pages my RB ("real brain") has directed the browser to load in a session. The thing is, I usually look at links I am considering to follow before I ask the browser to load them, and in cases I have noticed where the link does indeed look suspicious, most of the time I will choose to not follow the link at all. Doesn't everyone do this or something similar? I am picky about what I voluntarily load... (I don't like links that start off fine, with a site designaiton that seems normal enough but then is followed by indecipherable alphanumeric strings many, many lines long, etc. I tend to reject those because they look suspicious. They may not be, but I don't care... I'll stay with Firefox, of course, if for no other reason than they usually let you turn off the junk you don't like. And because it isn't Edge... But at some point Microsoft will come to realize that putting your bookmarks on the left side is a Good Thing for a lot of people, just as Microsoft discovered when it had the bright idea of nailing the Windows taskbar to the bottom of the screen, when for decades Microsoft browsers had left that placement up to the user. They have finally reversed the obscenity of that decision. Finally.
    • Google was using the old CATPCHAs data to train their LLMs. What is the say they won't use this camera data of users to train their LLM? these companies need some strict regulations!
