I built a PC that I am using as a dedicated server machine for games like Conan Exiles. I want to run multiple servers at a time and quickly noticed 16GB is not enough. Is 64GB overkill or should I be thinking more like 128GB to run a Conan Exiles server for about 20 people, a Valheim server, a Project Zomboid server, and possibly Ark Survival Evolved.
I am fairly certain my 3950X can handle it all.

What OS?
Windows 11
*NIX , FreeBSD distro's I think utilize RAM better than Windows does and doesn't care so much about RAM speed as it does about RAM quantity .. but that being said, I'd go 64GB's (2x32gb) .. or run 32GB's (2x16GB)for starters and see if it performs the way you want it to IF your 3950x plays well with 4 DIMM's installed
I'll place the order as soon as I get paid. I'll probably go 2x32gb to be safe.
