How Much Memory do I need?

Solution
Only if the applications do not use more memory than you have and if the memory timings of the ram are different than the larger one. Otherwise there is no difference in performance. If you're using high density performance ram, those can be overclocked or have their timings lowered a bit more.

These programs only use a lot of ram but are not very RAM intensive so you will not see any performance differences by using lower capacity ram.
