Will the UConsole take CM5 16gb?

Will the UConsole take 16GB? I want to give Rex’s image a try but not sure which one to get?

It should take a 16gb ram CM5, I’m running 8gb of ram on both my CM4 & 5.

Would you go with 16gb or 8gb?

8gb, unless you know you need 16gb of ram it’s is overkill in the Pi. The most I use is 5-6gb and I’m throwing my whole workload at it. Maybe some games could take advantage of it but I think the GPU would limit you before the ram as gaming is concerned.

Even putting all my good will into it, I can’t saturate the 8GB of ram of my cm5. Unless you open 20 tabs, play games at the same time and compile a program. 16GB seems expensive to me as an option for use.
