      Not THAT far. But 32GB RAM is getting more common, though I haven’t heard of many people using 64, let alone more than that.

      Also, storage is usually not that extreme, though multiple terabytes are also getting more common on the higher end.

      Just this month, I upgraded to 16GB RAM and 1TB SSD so it isn’t that extreme for most people.

      CPU and GPU - wise, most people aren’t running the best of the best, and there are still plenty of people using 10-series Nvidia GPUs, with most people seemingly using 20-series or 30-series GPUs, (and usually not the best cards for these generations)

        I just now upgraded to 64GB of DDR4 from eBay. But that’s because my Blender projects were getting really big and I’d crashed a few times. Linux is awesome but is really scary how it just hard-freezed or mercilessly thrashes when low on memory. 😬

        …That and I finally get glorious RGB RAM lighting up my case. :D weee!

        For gaming? I haven’t seen that much RAM be usedul yet. And in Blender… likely because I have a crazy amount of undo levels enabled and have Firefox open…a few tabs…maybe more than a few tabs…maybe a lot of tabs…

          That’s what the swap partition is for?
