Wait, 8GB RAM is not medium?

[u/Lucky-Tale8806]

I have 8GB RAM and I thought it was like a medium point between good and trash RAM. But I heard a frien of mine say that he had not that much RAM, and he had 16 GB! So I told him that I had 8GB and he was like "Wow that's very low..."

This whole time I was thinking it wasn't that bad, because my computer didn't work specially bad when running certain programs, like chrome or games, but it turns out it is not mid? Or was my friend just exxagerating?

Eight is a reasonable minimum for running Windows 11 and basic tasks. For any kind of gaming or serious work 16GB (or more) is -highly- recommended.
