IS future proofing RAM worth it ? 32gb ram ?
-
I'm a single user and currently my memory usage is around 25% - %30 of 8129 MB.
I'm worried about this and last week I went ahead and ordered another 8gb.
Would it be worth it to buy another 16gb (2x8gb) to fill the empty slots ?
ECC memory isn't cheap either which is why I'm curious if its even worth it. -
I am a single user as well and currently use 22% of 512MB. What is eating all your memory?
-
512mb ram ???Wow!!! you probably don't run any packages.
I'm running both snort and suricata. Depending on settings they will eat all 8gb ram and 16gb of swap.

I think you've (partially) answered your own question.
Depending on how much work you're willing to do to manage your Snort/Suricata setup you'll either be fine or will never have enough RAM ;)I'd move the discussion over to the IDS/IPS section and see what the current best practices/expectations are.
