What would you do if you had 32GB RAM?

Is this a problem in Chrome? I use Firefox with just 16gb and have no problem with a couple dozen tabs.

I have firefox and like 3 windows each with 1000+ tabs.

Ditch Google trash. Go for alternatives. E.g., Firefox instead of Chrome.

I'd be in trouble, since between ZFS and my various VMs, my system idles at ~170 GB RAM used. With only 32 I'd have to shut basically everything down.
My previous system had 64 GB, and while it wasn't great, I got by. Then one of the motherboard slots died and dropped me to 48 GB, which seriously hurt. That's when I decided to rebuild and went to 256.

Real question. Doesn't the computer actually slow down when you have that much memory? Doesn't the CPU need to seek into a bigger vast vs a smaller memory set?
Or is this an old school way of thinking?

No that's not how it works. Handling a larger address space (e.g., 32-bit vs 64-bit) maybe could affect speed between same sized modules on a very old CPU but I'm not sure that's even the case by any noticeable margin.
The RA in RAM stands for random access; there is no seeking necessary.
Technically at a very low level size probably affects speed, but not to any degree you'd notice. RAM speed is actually positively correlated with size, but that's more because newer memory modules are both generally both bigger and faster.

Play some horribly unoptimized games, like the Oblivion Remaster that recommends having 32gb. Which is fucking insane.

Oblivion needs about stable 10GB with max settings on my System.

I “cheaped out” with 32 and regretted it, working with huge files in RAM.

I wonder if they recommend 32 because 16gb is the minimum for maxed settings vanilla but they know everyone will have 2000 mods installed eventually and they are accounting for that.
