Review: For a suite of applications, I need a alternative user profile setting. Surprised that they work off a VM (virtualbox) but that brought my 16GB RAM to its knee. With this 2x32GB, gives me 80GB in total. Main PC and VM and respective applications within both are working more smoothly, but I don't feel an overall uplift. Booting time is probably 10% quicker, but no significant different to others. Davinci Resolve loads about 10% quicker too, and again, everything is much smoother. VM takes as long to load and log in. It's time these applications make use of additional RAM. Gaming does not increase much capacity neither; it's smoother but not a huge gain beyond that. The RAM kit is fine and great. I think also the noticeable gain is already a massive positive improvement. My CPU is running usually below 10%. 2nd day use Performance of my VM has not changed from the slight improvement yesterday after the +64GB increase. What is much more impressive now is the Davinci Resolve loads about two-thirds quicker, from about 15 seconds to about 4 seconds. Loading a project takes half the time. With Chrome and other background things running (VPN, scheduled backup, scanning, email checker etc.) along with Davinci Resolve, I loaded Premier Pro CS6. There is noticeable difference of about 50% start up and loading time with the +64GB. Everything, my i7 CPU is running at 4-6% load, and RAM is at 26%: 20.xx / 79.8 available. (16GB + 64GB). I wonder what gain I get if I upgrade to i9. But I don't *need* it. :)
