Never underestimate bragging rights in gamers community. Majority of us run unoptimized systems with that one great piece of gear and as long as the game runs at decent FPS and we have some bragging rights it's all ok.

Exactly. A decade ago, I put 64GB of RAM in a PC and my friend asked me why I needed that much and I replied "so I can say I have 64GB RAM".

The only time usage was "high" was when I created a VM with 48GB RAM just for kicks.

It was useless. But I could say I had 64GB RAM.

My work computer with Widnows, Outlook, few tabs open and Excel already craps put with 16 GB

If you hae a private computer, why wpuld you even bug something with 16GB in 2025? My 10 year old laptop had that much.

Im looking for a new laptop and Im looking at a 128GB setup - so those 200 chrome tabs can eat it, I have space to run other stuff, like those horrible electron chat apps + a game

		I have 64GB in my current machine and, TBH, it's more than enough. But if I were to upgrade, I'd still get at least 128GB. Nobody's gonna be impressed with 64GB anymore. I don't need that in my life...
