Hello, you're considering increasing your RAM from 16GB to 32GB for improved performance in astrophotography editing. You're looking into alternatives to HyperX Predator, staying within a £200 budget and based in the UK.

A substantial budget supports 64GB RAM. Consider upgrading to 64GB and swapping your existing RAM for a better performance boost. The recommended model is the Patriot Signature Line 64GB 2x DDR4 3200 CL22, available at PCPartPicker. For 32GB options, you can find suitable choices here: [link] and another recommendation [link].

Thanks for the feedback. Right now you're using two 8GB modules in dual channel at 3200MHz via XMP, and you're open to suggestions. Since you're doing photo editing, performance matters a lot. Adding more RAM could help, but it depends on your specific workload—if you're handling large files or demanding applications, extra memory might be worthwhile. Performance gains from more RAM can be significant in such tasks.

Do you notice your RAM consumption approaching full capacity during editing? If it drops below 80-90%, increasing the RAM won’t help further.

Hello, I've reviewed your plan. You're using Pixinsight and considering a virtual RAM disk as suggested in the link: http://dslr-astrophotography.com/improve...e-storage/. I'll keep that in mind for future reference.

File page usage remains low, RAM consumption stays at 14GB or less.
