RAM for chess computer?

How much better/faster will my computer play if I go from 8gb to 16gb or 32gb?

I have an fx-8350 processor, if that matters.

Thank you

In my humble opition, not much for most system configurations. The optimum hash table size for example doesn't change (much) as overall memory available increases. More memory is only useful in conjunction with more processor speed. It's also worth bearing in mind that certain operating systems can only utilize a certain amount of memory. Beyond that point it's pointless to have any more.

However, you have got a very fast processor there. If you had multiple processors each running with mulptiple hyper-threaded cores, and at overclocked speeds, then yes, buying more memory would at that point make a big difference. 

The key point is that engines only really need a certain amount of memory. Once they have enough, more doesn't help that much. 

The iphone chess programs can beat 99.99% of all chess players. Does RAM on your PC really matter in this day and age? You're never going to beat it in a million years unless you're somehow rated 3400.

It does matter, because I'm curious.

Computers 💻 are divided in two parts one is hardware and other is software. To speedup a software we need enough memory so that OS Complete task easily. But even if you have very huge amount of memory it wont effect the speed of processing of some task if the software already achieve the maximum requirement of memory. But what matters is the speed of processor with multi cores and multi threading and utter most important is the algorithms. Even if we have chess dedicated computer it wont work if it have the good algorithms it means engines here.
