16GB should be fine for just about anything. It is fine in 8GB and you probably can get away with 4GB. You need to check what is using up all the ram as there is a serious problem somewhere.

I've only really seen 64+ on servers since that's a bit insane for desktop use. 128GB is what you use for ZFS file servers and stuff like that.

Can you post your specs? Also I would double check that you didn't mismatch memory timings. You can mix brands as long as the speed and pattern are the same. It sounds a lot like a much bigger issue.
