Don't know why I voted 12GB, doh! Monday...

Desktop: 16GB

Laptop: 8GB

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.

    • Plans. Christ at least editorialise this tripe for what it is or put your own journalistic take on it.
    • If you have a TV in your living room, chances are you can probably just use the Steam Link app and play your huge PC in big picture mode, effectively giving you the Steam Machine experience to see if you'd actually like it. The good news is the Steam Machine can have it's drives upgraded. It has a USB-C 10Gbs port as well, so the 512GB drive could be quickly moved to an external enclosure and repurposed.
    • This machine could very well be a second gaming PC for their living room as a console experience. So we would have to assume their main PC exists as well; With that said, I have 10gb home network with a 2.5gigabit internet connection here so we tend to have more than enough speed to download games. However, we can't make use of the 10gb LAN using Steam's built in transfer tool because it always compresses transfers and that slows the transfer down to well below a standard gigabit port speeds, sometimes as slow as 200-300Mb/s transfers. While that's probably still faster than most internet connections anyway, if they'd fix the LAN transfer issue it'd be upto x5 faster even on a gigabit LAN, than simply dropping a 2.5gbe port on there with hopes of a few people having fast internet connections. There are solutions, work arounds, like using LANCache if you run a NAS... or simply copying the files over manually using a network share.
    • Samsung announces ultra-fast UFS 5.0 storage to supercharge mobile AI by Paul Hill Local AI models tend to run a lot more slowly than cloud services like Claude and Gemini; however, Samsung has just announced that it has developed its UFS 5.0 solution, which increases data transfer to speeds of 10.8GB/s, enabling faster storage and processing in mobile memory that has the potential to provide more optimal local AI experiences. Commenting on this development, Jangseok Choi, head of Memory Product Planning at Samsung Electronics, said: If you’ve tried local AI, you’ll know it can be quite slow, especially if using the larger parameter models. By developing this new solution, Samsung says that storage is evolving from just storing data to a core piece of infrastructure that supports AI computation, too. The Korean company said that UFS 5.0 integrates the latest embedded memory interface standard from JEDEC and achieves up to 10.8 gigabytes per second (GB/s) transfer speeds. Regarding write speeds, Samsung UFS 5.0 can reach 9.5 GB/s. Both the read and write speeds are twice as fast as those of the previous UFS 4.1 standard. Aside from being ideal for local AI, Samsung’s UFS 5.0 is more power efficient by 40% compared to UFS 4.1. Samsung achieved this by implementing innovations such as clock gating and multi-voltage technologies. UFS 5.0 is also ultra-compact at just 7.5mm x 13mm x 0.9mm; that is 16.7% smaller than UFS 4.1. The company said it will be bringing it to multiple devices in the future, including mobile, wearable, and extended reality.
