    Seems this is a question commonly asked so why not ask again..

    I use CAD, image editing software and love multitasking.. My Precision will have 2/4 bays occupied with 16GB modules totaling 32GB..

    If you had a spare pair of 2x8GB DDR4 modules (which I do) would you install them in the remaining two slots to total 48GB or just leave the 32GB as it's enough?

    Never really see workstations configured to 48GB, normally either 32 or 64GB

    If you have it, put it in. More RAM never hurt anything.

    Unless you use hibernation, in which case the more that is sitting in RAM then the longer it takes to write / read the hibernation file (less of an issue if you have it on a NVMe SSD).
