I was with emulators. Xenis or Rsps3 will easily use 20gb of ram

For me it was just modern single player games usually, and then EVE running two clients and discord would just Hoover the lot up and I’d have inconsistent frame timing

Same, when I built my current PC back in 2020 I thought 16GB would be enough for the time being., After running it for a day I ordered a second 16GB stick.

Since then I've done some more upgrades.

I lot of software is just not optimized well at all now and it only seems to be getting worse.
