I have 256 Gig of RAM. Dual high end NVIDA video cards, 12TB RAID 5 for storage and a 2 TB M.2 boot drive and second 2 TB M.2 for the work drive, all in the computer case. It is a large case, with multiple cooling fans. I bought the parts, and built it myself to do run a few very expensive programs to do our aerial photography and mapping projects.

We sometimes churn out a single photo mosaic orthophoto that can be 30 GB or more, as a compressed Tif file. It can take the system a couple of days of chewing on a few thousand photos to mosaic the images together.

So it is not a regular home use computer from Best Buy.

The program we use will eat up the RAM, the bigger the project the more RAM it uses. I have see it using 220 Gig, so it was getting close to max. If it uses all the RAM, the process get really really slow.
