| it clearly is, because adding more ram adds less than 1% of extra value in games. And as we can see, if you go by some games shown in the video, you could even make an argument that 64GB isn't enough if game is coded to behave like cancer when memory utilization is observed. |

Correction. 16G is enough if you run only 1 game at a time and nothing else.
16Gs becomes insufficient when you run multiple games at the same time or, when you run design/DB software in the backgound.
After all, as Gill Bates would say: 640k is ought to be enough for anyone!

I would not know because I have never play it.
But, there you go - there are games out there that don't take kindly to having a lousy 16Gs  |

| it's in the video that was linked for this article, first game in the sequence. 64GB not enough - for minecraft. Or so it would seem if we were to count every single frame, which no one really does... |
