Who in the world has 30 GB of RAM? It feels like this should be illegal.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think all the replies are misunderstanding you as saying 'who has so much RAM', when you're actually referring to 30 being a bizarre total number of GB of RAM to have.
I can't even think of a combo of (certainly-mismatched) sticks of RAM that'd get you to 30 even. 8-8-8-6?
It is probably 32 GB with 2 GB allocated to the iGPU.
RAM used to grow on trees next to the money bushes. We used to grab a few bucks and smoke under the shade before picking a few rams on our way back home.
Many laptop-users I knkw, which fell for the “more is better”-strategy. A friend has 40 GB of RAM, because his laptop came with 16 GB preinstalled, and he added 24 GB more. Yes.
I mean, jokes on you, now it's impossible to buy
40, sure. 1x16+3x8 in the previously empty slots. Its silly and probably causing an issue somewhere, but it makes some logical sense. What insane person is installing 1x16, 1x8, 1x4 and 1x2
I suspect it may be bios level allocation of system ram to an igpu? I think that could affect how the system reports ram??
The minimum you can get per stick is 16GB for DDR5. You usually want 2 sticks for dual-channel memory
30gb RAM, 2.3TB hard drive, 7-core Intel Q-447, and an NVIDIA BTX 8675309 graphics card.
Usually just from trying to max out what they have without replacing sticks. I had 80gb for a while when I added 2 32GB sticks to my 8GBx2 setup. I eventually removed the two 8GB sticks due to stability issues.
