Re: tips and tricks for my new computer
My work laptop has 32GB of RAM, I wish it had 64. My home laptop has 32GB, and it's mostly fine, except for rare occasions. I would personally never go to 16GB, but it really depends on what you are doing.
For the anecdote, when I was interning at Ubisoft working on Assassin's Creed Odyssey, I had to compare two binary files and diff them. The files were map files of the game, the file I used was 24GB. To diff them, the easiest way was to load both of them in memory. I remember the first time I launched the tool I was making that was diffing the two and creating a patch, I was just staring at my RAM in Task manager. I had 64GB of RAM. I saw it spike to 30GB, 40GB, 50GB... 55GB... 59GB, I was getting nervous, I was like "do it! you can do it! I don't want to rewrite this to stream the content!".
It stayed at 59GB for a while, processed the diff, the patch, dumped it and memory went back down to ~15-20GB range and I've never been so happy in my life (don't tell my girlfriend).
