How much Ram would you choose?

Framework Laptop 12
22

i3-1315u supports Up to DDR5 5200 MT/s; support for slower speeds is not unusual. I ordered RAM that can run at 5600, but not in this system.

I think that the recommendation is for RAM to run at 5200 out-of-the-box, and to avoid XMP, so wish me luckšŸ¤ž

Iā€™ll get a 24GB module. That will be more than enough for web and basic image editing and videos and ebooks.

24

I havenā€™t ordered the ram or SSD yet, figure the prime day sales and counter-sales are a good time to order those, but Iā€™m leaning towards 48gbā€¦32 would probably be fine, but itā€™s not that much cheaper, and 64 would be nice, but itā€™s very doubtful itā€™s necessary, and itā€™s like $55 more, which seems excessive when Iā€™ll probably never need itā€¦especially when Iā€™ve got 96gb in my FW13 :grin:

I ordered a 64GB Kingston CSODIMM ram to try whether it will work on framework 12.

I bought 32GB, which should be plenty.

I bought

ā€œCrucial 64GB DDR5 RAM 5600MHz (or 5200MHz or 4800MHz) Laptop Memory, SODIMM 262-Pin, Compatible with Latest Intel Core Ultra and AMD Ryzen 8000 & Above ā€“ CT64G56C46S5ā€

and have had no issues with it on my Framework 12 so far.

Considering itā€™s a single stick on the i3 I just ordered a cheap 32GB 4800 stick off eBay, since itā€™s not going to be much different than the 5200 the platform is capped at anyway. Tested fine in my FW13.

29

My initial thought was to just get 8 GB to keep cost down and since thatā€™s probably all I need right now. And if there were two slots, thatā€™s what I would have done, and just put another 8 in when I needed it.
But considering itā€™s just one slot, I settled on 16 to prevent the 8 from becoming e-waste in a year or so. Been shopping around, but havenā€™t ordered yet.

Since itā€™s not in the official RAM list - can confirm, that Corsair 32 GB 5200MHz (CMSX32GX5M1A5200C44) works.

How about now?

I ended up using a 32G stick I had extra. Seems to work fine.

I chose 24G and I wish I got more.

34

Working only with MATLAB Simulink and Python, i got the 16 GB. Seems fine

35

What can u do with 24? Iā€™m wanting to get the 12 for school and i dont think 16 would be enough and 32 isnā€™t needed at the moment but seeing the little price difference im not sure which to choose
