I personally use like 40gb of ram opening up city skylines and rimworld before I started compressing textures. VMs, video editing, 3d modeling are all ram demons and are all hobbies people have.

There are plenty of workloads that need 64 to 128 gb of ram.

Yeah. But not in a personal rig. Professional compute + shit like that is suffering much more. Which is what I was saying.

If you dont do that stuff as a job and do it as a hobby theres no reason not to have it in your personal rig. Ram was dirt cheap and if you've got a top tier CPU you may as well go hard.
