What is the need of 192GB?
I often execute calculations on a cluster where I’ll need some 500-1000 GB of ram. But I have 32 GB in my workstation and I never felt I needed more.
Everything I need to do I can do: I can be having many browser tabs open, several IDEs, compiling and have a game engine open at the same time.
Only times I fill the ram is when I stress test my software for ram usage, but that is to be expected.
Fair, I guess I’d also want some ram if I did not have access to a compute cluster.
But to be fair, for what I do I don’t really think you can fit that much ram on a consumer motherboard.
In machine learning I don’t generally find memory to be the bottleneck, as long as the GPU can handle it.
But sure, opening huge files can be big trouble.
