      What do you do in browser?

      At work I would be extremely fine with 8GB, and we use Windows browser apps. Even they would run fine with 4GB of RAM.

      So why 16?

        I can barely do anything else on my personal machine with 8GB if I have firefox open. And it swaps.

        Now I’m missing my pentium 3 1Ghz with 128mb of ram because of this thread.

          @devfuuu @msage This is my experience exactly. I don’t care much for this thread, the fact is Firefox won’t run in 1MB and in my experience won’t run very well in 8MB. If other peoples’ mileages magically vary, good for them.
