Oh wowwww. Look at mr/mrs bigshot over here with 192 GB of ram.

[–] StephenTallentyre@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The machine I had before this had 4 GB, lol. That's why I put so much of the budget into RAM when I built this one.

I mean, you can never have too much ram.

But if you don't use it in its entirety, it is kind of useless.

That's the system's job. It can cache stuff or whatever.

192GB is way to big to be used as a cache

However, you probably could run some of the huge language models

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You're underestimating the cache.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 months ago

You are underestimating writebacks. You won't use that much on a normal filesystem and with ZFS you will only use that with bigger amounts of data
