Basically just ordered the ASUS VG248QE wanted to know if I will be able to get the potential of a 144hz monitor.

An AE artist I know sent me an AE render test which gobbles 40GB (my AE system has
64GB). A typical GIS set is 300GB+. An ANSYS user told me his ideal workstation would
be single-CPU with 1TB RAM. It's all relative. :D

16GB+ isn't stupid, just not needed for the current level of gaming. OTOH, at least he's future
proofed for a while. Games are changing fast, wouldn't it surprise me if games in 2015/16
started needing more than 8GB on desktop systems (remember some of that is used by
Windows, etc.)

Yes, should be fine. Just wondering though, why is the RAM such an odd amount? Remember that to make
best use of the parallel RAM channels, RAM should be installed in matching pairs evenly. Thus, the mbd will
run better if you install 8GB, 16GB or 32GB, however many slots are used (as long as it's an even number).

I had 16gb of the ddr 3 crucial 2x8gb 1600 ram running parallel. I have 2x2 gb 1600 same brand just in 2 gb sticks to give it the extra 4gb to make 20.

So i have 2x8gb and 2x2gb crucial ddr3 1600. Would I lose performance from that?
