WOW retail memory upgrade

[Purpleflavor]

It all depend on the amount of addon, i run 5 accounts with basic addon (meaning bare minimum, timers, buffs and so on).

Each classic client use slightly over 1GB ram, retail runs higher around 2.5GB. So if you are going to use lots and lots of addons then 32GB is minimum, you might need to go for more.

A good practice is leave 10-15% memory for OS, last thing you want is for the system to start paging.

Never seen an addon using a gig or more. The highest I've seen is Tradeskill at around 130mb and maybe TomTom runs pretty high usage. He said he's running 2 accounts, though. So even if you load up every addon you want, you wouldnt really add more than 1 gig per account. So he shouldnt be over say 10gb on triple ultra maximum settings and every addon in the book. Or am i missing something? Most addons use like 5mb. GSE runs 1.6mb, Recount is around 3.4mb, Clique is 300kb.

Also, i only run the main addons on my main leader to save memory and faster load times. I think i only share Bartender, isboxer, and EMA across all accounts and my main has the typical addons you'd see. Maybe it was a typo? 4.5gb seems more reasonable for 2 accounts.

I agree, but, in Retail, the highest I've had my five accounts up to was 5GB each, and it was likely caused by the Zygor leveling guide being loaded with progress being shared across the party.

It's probably the total RAM usage for two game clients and four hundred tabs in Chrome.
