Was previously using 8GB single stick then I upgraded to 16GB dual channel. Performance increase was quite noticeable.
Depends what PC you're referring to. I've never done a complete RAM count on all units. One of my main boards comes equipped with 128 GB of Corsair Dominator Platinum RAM. The ram serves me well, I've never had trouble with it. I even got over 70% of it working in one usage once or twice. I rarely mention this as the first response is almost always, "you don't need that much RAM". Well, baloney. There was once a time nobody "needed" a 1TB hard drive. Anyway, to each there own and there it is. :biggrin:
2GB: Only really found in budget tablet designs. Fine for them, but you’ll want more in a laptop or desktop.
4GB: Entry level memory that comes with even budget notebooks. Fine for basic Windows and Chrome OS usage.
8GB: Excellent for Windows and MacOS systems and most games. We recommend this for most people.
16GB: Ideal for professional work and more demanding games.
32GB and beyond: Enthusiasts and purpose-built workstations only.

I've always wondered how memory speeds vs memory channels...single, dual and dual dual, affected onboard GPU performance.
I know Anandtech has a bit of a rundown on it, but they didn't really go far enough with the speeds, nor did they test memory channel configurations.
