Indies 10 handles memory by dividing it into different areas. It keeps a small portion of RAM reserved for standby, which helps the system stay responsive. With 16GB of DDR4 3733 RAM, you already have plenty of space for regular tasks. The image you mentioned shows reserved areas, but most of it is from background processes like Chrome and Opera. Adding another 16GB won’t significantly boost performance unless you have heavy multitasking or demanding apps. It’s not necessary unless you notice slowdowns.

Well, i'd say its pretty simple without needing the knowledge to understand how windows reserverse and handles the memory. You have 4,2 GB left. Will you utilizse those? Will you ever have the case of having close to 90-100% RAM utilisation? If yes, go get more. If no, why bother. At least thats my opinion.

16gb covers the needs of most people right now. It's sufficient for basic rendering and calculation tasks unless you're working on complex computations. If you rarely hit the memory limit, it's okay—just close unused apps to keep things smooth.
