64 GB of ram being 100 percent or almost 100 percent utilized?

This question just popped into my head. Who actually needs 64 gigs of ram? And I was wondering if any of you could find an example where people could be using all that ram for productivity and running actual programs that they would need. Or someone with 10000 tabs open in chrome.

Video editing. It uses ALL of your ram. A 20 second clip in after effects caps out my 16GB of ram.

Also 3d modelling and rendering, particle simulations, etc...

Only on heavy, multilayered stuff. Video editing on my rig does not use all 64GB of RAM, and rarely passes 50.

Well I was talking about after effects...

In stuff like vegas you can limit the max ram that it can cache to.

VMs. Trust me, I could stack enough VMs to use every bit of 64GB of RAM. The bottleneck would probably be the CPU at that point though.

I was messing around with VM's at a computer shop my friend used to work at, we set up a dual opteron system with 128GB's of ram and we maxed out the ram at like 90GB's or something like that before the CPU's was unable to run more VM's lol

I was talking about After Effects as well. It has to be pretty intense video for it to use all of my RAM, so most people will never have a need for 64GB.

if you've never used a ramdisk, you should try it.

Relevant update in the life of Vitalius: My FreeNAS server is dangerously close to running out of RAM with 32GB. Time to double up to 64GB. Yay. More RAM for Minecraft.
