My computer has 32.0 GB RAM but I often see 92% of RAM is used when I worked with certain Ae. I wish to increase the RAM. Is 64 GB enough for Ae or I have to go for 128 GB.

    Hi ​@MahaB82A:

    Adobe After Effects really benefits from extra memory once compositions get more complex.  A jump to 64GB+ would give you a lot more headroom. 64GB or 128GB is a good upgrade.

      Recently RAM price has increase 6 times because of less supply in the market. Because RAM manufactures prefer to manufacture RAM for AI servers. I prefer to choose 64 GB because of my budget. Is this enough for the purpose?
