Testing 16GB, 32GB and 64GB of RAM using various combinations of DDR5 sticks to see if 16GB is enough for the average gamer in 2024, and whether there's anything to be gained by upgrading.

Upgrading RAM is easy to do, and doesn't cost much these days, either. People who need lots of RAM for their work, running a server or playing heavily modded games and memoryhungry simulators know they need 32GB of RAM or more for their special purposes, but how about the rest of us? Is there a benefit to upgrading from 16GB, or should you save your money for a CPU or GPU instead?
