Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition used about 23 GB of RAM on release, because the game is still based on an engine that doesn't know what VRAM is.

Is it the time for 32GB Ram?

i mean just cuause 3 has a memory leak which means if you play the game for 5 hours it ends up using 42 gigs of ram
this problem cant be fixed with more ram really

Windows does some weird (cool) stuff when you have lots of RAM. Like caching everything it can and chrome goes wild. Even with 128GB, between adobe after effects, photoshop and premiere pro, chrome, gaming, etc Win 10 will use every bit of it for efficiency. Not used RAM is useless RAM.

Wasn't showing an demonstration? Was just showing 128GB installed. Idle is around 17GB without really loading anything up besides chrome. Windows will cache ~ 70GB within a few hours in my use-case.

Y'know what time it is?
6x4GB X58 time. Can't go wrong with middle ground 24GB and that sweet, sweet overclocked Xeon.

I like 32 gigs. I play mostly borderlands 3 and it takes over 20 with the system. It takes about 10 gig max on the videocard.

You're missing the point completely.
