I have just built a custom system and have learned some lessons. One of which is that I don't need 32GB RAM, nor can I utilize 32GB with what I do. I find that when I'm taxing the system the most, only about 12GB is being used - ergo 16GB RAM would have been the sweetspot.

So I've read about RAM disks briefly and doing things such as turning off my Windows page file. What other options do I have to take advantage of having 32GB RAM, and are the previous two suggestions worth entertaining? I understand that RAM disk utilization is highly subjective, but I'm looking for both general good practice and niche-like options.

I would remove two sticks and sell it.

Excellent response, however I only need to run one VirtualBox at a time, which would not use up a significant portion of my extra RAM.
