Question to future Skylake owners. What memory configuration are you going to choose?
I might settle with 4x 8GB if prices drop a bit.
I haven't been paying
too much attention to the recent Skylake information. So, have they stated the max memory configuration for the next chipset? Right now, non-enthusiast boards (e.g. Z97) only support up to 32GB. So, I'd probably go with 4x8GB. I don't
usually use over 16GB, but it does happen sometimes. I tend to be a bit of a tab fiend.
I keep a ton of tabs, PDFs, videos, etc. open at any one time to switch back and forth from. Maybe because I have tons of memory I don't feel the need to close things, but I very often push past 16GB of RAM.
That happens a lot to me as well. Although, Firefox is
really bad when it starts using a lot of memory. It gets to a point where it's
constantly pegging a core (13% usage on my 4C+4T CPU), and that usually occurs when it's using 4-5GB+ of memory. Sometimes I've had it behave until about 8GB of usage.
