Or is that Committed part not so much a big deal? Was there any performance differance after going to 32GB with Win10

I no reason not to min my game while i surf and or possiby watch a movie lolIt really depends on what you're doing. However, I will say that one surprising situation where you can find yourself needing more than 16GB of RAM if you're not careful is web browsing... if you're like me and you let the tabs full of JavaScript-heavy sites pile up without remembering to close them, you can easily find yourself using 20GB for web browsing. And it's getting easier and easier to hit that as websites increasingly become like more applications and less like documents. I have sometimes found I use less RAM gaming than I do surfing the web. It sounds crazy, but yeah. People used to think of an "Internet PC" as lighter than a gaming PC. I'm not so sure that fits anymore.
You can probably still get by with 16GB of RAM, but you need to not let the tabs pile up and be really good about closing applications you're not using. It's starting to feel like 8GB did about 5 years ago, in other words...

I had a game minimized....while i took a browser break...The real question is why does your system use up 9gb of ram idle? I would have looked at background processes and stopped them from opening at startup before I looked at moving to 32gb of ram. The only benefit you would see is if your applications are needing more than the 16 you have, but with some memory management I think 16 is more than fine in general.
lol thats not "idle". youre fine. like the others said, unless you have an app that needs it, theres not much point jumping to 32.I had a game minimized....while i took a browser break...
which was the point of this thread. I have zero interest of doing one thing at a time with a custom desktop.lol thats not "idle". youre fine. like the others said, unless you have an app that needs it, theres not much point jumping to 32.
