I know odd question but lets say I have 16gb of ram in my laptop, I only have a quad-core . Will the quad-core crap out before I can even touch the 16gb of ram or are there things that eat up RAM but don't touch the cpu to much . It's a stupid question when I read it but yeah .
Can a CPU bottleneck RAM ?

OS and motherboard generally affects max ram potential and capacity. the cpu's memory controller plays somewhate of an influence.

A quad really shouldn't throttle the your DRAM, you could hop n the net and open a ton of tabs, very few people ever use 16GBs

the cpu shouldnt be bogged down by amount. what it controls more of is stability of clocks through its memory controller. Amount of ram is more of a mobo/operating system limitation. for example, 32 bit operating systems are stuck around 4gb ram generally.

Video editing will like the additional DRAM as will the rest of your system, when you run low on DRAM the system writes and reads data it needs back and forth to the HD's page file, but no it shouldn't bottlenech
