Still nobody answers my questions. (Except seachnasaigh - crosspost) Sigh. I don't understand how Socrates ever accomplished anything.
So I'll answer them.
If you have 24 GB of RAM you are not swapping, and you've got no programs you plan to use that aren't already preloaded. Every program you have is preloaded and waiting to be called upon. Everything you have in your scene fits in memory with room to spare. You could load 80 figures and 150 props (using V4-type figures as an example at 100 MB each, and very complex props at 50MB each) and you'd still use only about 16 GB of RAM - 8 GB would be left unused.
So at that point I'd say without any doubt that more is not better, and is just wasting money.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
