Comparing the two models at their respective frequencies and speeds.
Considering your setup and goals, the 3600Mhz kit offers better performance and future-proofing. The 3200Mhz model may limit upgrades and could affect gaming and multitasking speeds. Your current specs support smooth gaming at 1440p and video playback at 1080p, so sticking with the higher frequency will keep things snappy.
The 3600 kit should handle latency better, but why do we require 32 gigs for this task? Only 16 gigs would suffice.
The file size listed ranges from 300 to 500 MB in the page filing area of Task Manager. It’s unclear exactly what this range refers to, but it likely relates to the size of the file being saved or processed.
Well, I'm wondering if 16 gigs would be sufficient in that situation. It feels pretty tight to spend on 80 euro RAM when I could get 32 for a bit more than 20 euros, even if it's a little slower. An 8GB capacity is usually too small for today's games, and I don't want to run into this issue again, particularly with next-gen consoles coming up soon.
Currently 16 gigs is sufficient, and you can increase to 32 later on as required.
Windows relocates unused data onto the page file to free up memory for active apps, which is typical behavior. This happens even with larger storage capacities like 32 GB.
