My message is you don't need more RAM!!Nokatus wrote:Yes. Like with anything, you need it if you need it, and you don't if you don't . Basically, your message is: before you go and buy it, make sure you actually need it...papawise wrote:I agree in part, but I dare to say in general that you don't need it because I think that many users are looking to improve their system adding more RAM and that's (many times) of cero help.
Well, I've already did it and I'm affraid that you was wrong. I repeat, there may be some cases, but 1%. With that logical thinking, of course you will find guys that needs 56 cores in their CPU, maybe for science or special studies but that's only 0.1%, well this is similar. Now after the test I'm more convinced than before, so thanks for motivate me to learn more and to help people to don't buy myths.Nokatus wrote:I think, as per tradition, there will soon be a Live 10 Performance Test set (Stromkraft mentioned posting one in the near future)...
Unless that you are Junkie XL or Hans Zimmer and you use 100+ tracks making orchestral arrangements for movies and we didn't know :p even in that case, you are just an exception and no the rule.
