      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.

            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
