I managed to max out my 16GB RAM by a means other than a memory leak in some shitty program. I'm finalizing a project for work, watching a movie, browsing the web, and recording some trombone practice sessions with playalong tracks. I had open a few instances of Acrobat, 9 word documents, 6 graphics, VLC media player, Acoustica Mixcraft with 4 tracks, 20-30 chrome tabs, and Citrix remote desktop app with additional remote documents and windows explorer windows active.
So, you're saying I should go 32gb for my new build - "just in case"?

Depends on whether you're like me and just keep your entire day/week's worth of activity open all the time.
I tend to configure builds with two DIMMs because people are always concerned about having enough RAM. Assuming it's a standard mobo with 4+ DIMM slots, they can always add more (and they probably will, whether they need it or not).
I've used 16GB for the past 3-4 years (upgraded from 8GB when I started working from home). I probably won't upgrade anytime soon unless I find a legitimate, worthwhile use of a RAMdisk that isn't just for the fun of it.
