they got a machine for me (was working on a VM before that).
The PC has... drum roll.... 128Gb of RAM!
I dig that!

That makes me feel small.

I have 16, and it's enough.
What does that tell us?

I suppose you mean that size doesn't matter, but some women would disagree

You do need one! 
But on the other, you dont have solution with 541 projects!

If that's the sort of system employees at [EmployerNameWithheld], is it any wonder that the requirements for [SoftwareProductFromEmployerNameWithheld] are through the roof?
On a more serious note...my first dedicated VM host had 32GB of RAM, which is the maximum its motherboard could handle. Next one (my current) maxes out at 64GB, and it didn't take long to convince myself that my next VM host will have to have 128.

ha! so you understand! ^_^

The part about VM hosts, or the part about employees getting ridiculously high-spec'ed machines resulting into bloated software?
The latter part rings particularly true to me; I remember reading some article decades ago written by someone who was complaining about Windows (and Microsoft software in general) getting bloated, and suggesting that employees should be forced to use old machines that barely meet stated system requirements for a month...and speculating that as a result you'd find a lot of their software suddenly going through some serious optimization.

And how much of that are you actually using?

Only 40GB so far!

I could load up all of my development tools, Office (Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint), a bunch of Chrome tabs, and maybe a game or two and still not hit 20GB. The only thing I do not use is SQL Server, but that would not push that number much higher. So the 128GB I have on my desktop is mostly unused.

I have to ask: what do you need that amount of RAM for?

it's a good question!
I am new here so dunno...
Anyway, checking, the main solution I work with has 541 project.. when building Visual Studio is consuming 15GB, when debugging same. and the editor with a demo (very simple) level uses 2GB...
Well I guess at this stage I am unsure why I need so much... But I guess it's important to someone...

I thought you might be doing some crazy modelling or 3D rendering or bitcoin mining or something, but hey, if they give you the RAM who's going to say "no thanks"

Well.. the App I am working on is the Frostbite Editor, for the artists to do their work. So heaps of 3D rendering! 
But me, being the new guy here, I only ever opened toy levels so far...

|
Well enjoy!

I've read that VS 2022 will be 64bits all the way through. I could imagine someone wants you to take advantage of that.

we're certainly ready for that! ^_^
