u/crash_over-ride

I am looking at replacing my 2017 iMac, which has been a good soldier over the years. After looking at specs I am heavily leaning towards a Mac mini versus an iMac, but am wondering about ideal RAM amounts.

I bought my 2017 iMac new with good specs and with C:S specifically in mind, and after I bought it I upgraded it to 64gb RAM. I have tens of thousands of Steam workshop assets for C:S, to the point it's eating 100gb+ of memory, and over the years I've run out of RAM a number of times. I can swing it if I don't have a browser window open.

I'm not doing high end movie editing etc etc, or really anything else I might need 64gb RAM for. Can I get away with 48gb (or less?), or should I aim for 64gb due to my vast number of assets.

I don't really play much that's processor/graphics intensive aside from C:S and EVE Online (TEST is recruiting).
