Hi
I'm planning a new build that i intend to keep for around 5 years, and i'm wondering if i should go for 16gb or 32gb ram.
With my current build i have 8gb, but i'm capping it in a two situations, which is while playing a heavily modded minecraft, and while playing two instances of world of warcraft at once. I estimate that right now, around 12gb is the most i would need.
So if i go for 16gb in my next build, i'd have 4gb of headroom. But do you think it will still be enough in 4-5 years, or i should future-proof it by going for 32gb instead ?
Also, i have read that adding more ram over time is not recommanded because of dual-channel requiring the exact same ram. Does it apply only to the two sticks that work together ? If i put a pair of sticks (2x8gb) now, can i add another pair of 2x8gb a few years later ?
Thanks
