Where to buy 8GB ram?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!

if you use adobe premier and are adding efects to the project, i can easily utilize 13-14 gigs of my ram, and thats with just that 1 program open. to op, alot of feed back you get are coming from a gamers point of view. sometimes i wonder if they forget that there is so much more a pc can do, in the professional field where lots of ram is needed. i sy 16 gigs is a good amount to have as a standard. the way i se it, retailers are selling computers that have 8 gigs as a standard right now, so in my mind, i need to go up one level from todays standard, so when what i have becomes the standard, ill already be in it. to me, thats one way of future proofing, at least when it comes to ram. if you dont do any editing like i do with large projects, than 8 gigs is fine. but for me, 16 gigs isnt enough for what i do on a regular basis. 32gigs would be way better. i use a ramdisc program as my scratch disc in adobe programs, so 8 gigs gets dedicated to that, so if i had 32gigs, id have 24 left over, and 14 of that will be utilized in adobe premier, at least, leaving me with 10gigs to open a game, or run a 2nd project through adobe encore. so, it really depends on what you do. for those who say that youwill never use 16gigs today, well they are simply not thinking about people like me who do use it up, everyday
 
that really makes alot of sense, seen as i will be doing a fair bit of what you have mentioned above, i think 16gb is a great size. Thank you very much for your input :)
i appreciate it very much
 
anytime man. glad i could help. i cant remember, but are you looking to buy the ram soon, or do you already have ram? if your looking to buy, then let me know and based on your budget, ill recomend some for you. sorry if you have already said the answers to my questions, but i read so much stuff, its hard to keep track sometimes. let us know
 
i have already bought the ram :)
i got the g.skill ripjaws 2 x 8 gb ddr3 1333mhz
but all of these comment just made me feel so much more confident about my purchase :) thank you very much

32GB is a waste of money. No matter what your doing. Even 16GB is way overkill. Even my 12GB is overkill. By the time there is any combination of programs that will make use of more than 12GB of RAM, DDR3 and the i7 will be obsolete.

I have opened every program on my computer at once, and still had more than 2GB of RAM available.

Rubbish, several applications can make use of this amount of RAM, VMs, RAM Disks, graphics and sound intensive stuff... theres loads.

I havent used every editing software available, but I have used photoshop, adobe audition, FL studio, 3DSMax, and of course WMM. None of these programs will use 12GB of RAM.

If 16GB isnt enough for what you do on a regular basis, then I dont know what to tell you. I do alot of different types of editing myself, and 12GB is more than I will ever need with my machine.
 
to G80FTW...you dont have to tell me anythihg. adobe photoshop can use up memory, but preimier is a vdeo editing tool, and will easily put me up to 14 gigs used when im working on a project. so i dont know what to tell you, other than do more research and get more experience about this topic, cuz there are many many many tasks one can do that will eat up ram like its candy. 16 gigs is fine for now. i just have to stop my progress in each project sometimes or ill run out of ram, and then i get slowed right down, since it starts to use the page file. ill be getting 4 x 8 gig corsair platinium 1866 ram next month, and ill be selling these mushkins i have right now.
