What I mean is this: assume your video editor could do wonders (lots of speed optimizations) with those extra 16 GB of RAM.

Would you then buy the extra RAM?

Personally, I would do it in a heart beat. But I'm curious what you guys think.

In other words.. would anyone spend ~ $100 for a 50% flow boost.

The answer is yes 100/100 times

I wish that was so :D Seems that quite a few people think software shouldn't use too much memory.

I asked something similar on reddit, and people think 16GB is enough (which I quite disagree :D)
