People keep saying under 16 GB of RAM and under isn't enough. Am I missing something? My current machine is an Intel N100 CPU with 8 GB of RAM and I never run into problems. 5-10 tabs, spreadsheets, text editor, and a terminal open at the same time. How is 16 GB of RAM not enough for a workstation?

Someone recently posted a screenshot here of his browser crashing because he had several hundred tabs open.
...I'm guessing it's these types of people who can't get by with less than 16 GB 😉
@82mhz I can see how that would cause it. But, getting more RAM instead of keeping things tidy is like living in a messy house and the solution is to buy a bigger house and then tell everyone else the old house isn't big enough for anyone not just them.
@stevelord Exactly! I guess gaming would be the use case for at least dual channel RAM, but most of these people are saying they can't even do basic tasks with 8 GB.
