Ok, so, I am looking to buy a new computer because this one is old and overworked, and I have a question about RAM.
Several of the computers I have looked at have customization options and my first instinct when I see 32GB RAM is to go 'yay RAM! the more the better', but I have no idea if that is true.
Is there some kind of law of diminishing returns that applies here? If the computer in question for example has an Intel Core i7-3630QM 2.4-3.4 GHz 6 MB, which according to them can use 32GB, is there a point where you'll only ever actually use half of that before the CPU gets too tired to cope?
I'm well aware that I don't need 32GB of RAM, but would it be better?
Thanks in advance
