    Extend memory or not?


    Hi

    Currently I have an IDE hard disk and 16gb RAM. As part of testing not using the pagefile, the following applications were opened and worked with no problem:
    Firefox
    Delphi XE10.2
    Android Studio + emulator
    Eclipse
    Java (my tomcat server was running).

    The memory consumption was closed to 16gb but they all worked smooth. The computer did crash eventually because as time went by, the apps required more memory until it reached the end of it. Makes sense.

    I'm now thinking of upgrading my HD to SSD but regardless, I was thinking of upgrading the memory to 32gb and avoid using the pagefile at all. Eventually the memory might reach that new "limit" but if 5 heavy applications worked ok with 16GB, it will take them a very long time to reach 32gb and up to this point, I might restart the computer for other reasons.

    I read articles saying that some apps require the existence of the pagefile but it seems that the application I'm using, don't. Am I missing something here?
    Thanks

    :)

    Overclocking / Undervolting guide for Vega 56 or 64?

    Here's a quick laundry list:

    List of software to use for overclocking and testing
    Examples:
    Wattman (and how to find and use it, like an overview, including profiles)
    Unigine Valley or Heaven (use this for quick testing while changing settings in Wattman and checking for stability / artifacts) ...just suggesting this
    How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)

    Step-by step overclocking in Wattman
    Fan speeds
    Power limit
    Temp limit
    Voltages
    Core speeds
    Memory speeds
