So I recently built a gaming pc inside an old Mac Pro case with the Laser Hive kit. My 2015 iMac with half the amount of RAM as my new PC can open about 75 Chrome tabs before crashing, let's see about my new PC.

Ok, I'm back. I opened almost 1,500 tabs with 32GB ram and still had 11GB ram left during the experiment. And I did taskkill /f /im chrome.exe which crashed Chrome, and after I did that I reopened Chrome and pressed "restore 1500 tabs." It worked fine. This PC is fantastic.

Specs:

Intel Core i5-12600K
Gigabyte B660M DS3H AX DDR4
Intel UHD Graphics
32GB Corsair Vengeance LPX O/C to 3200MHz
650W Cooler Master fully modular PSU


Here's an image of a ton of tabs open and Task Manager so you can see RAM usage.

And FYI I'm pretty sure that each new tab page is about 30MB in size... some tabs must be inactive though, I would need over 40GB ram to do 1345 active new tab pages...
