    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

              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
