How much extra ram is needed to also farm while plotting

I seen posts regarding staggering 9 plots to get more use out of your 32GB of ram but does that leave any wiggle room to farm at the same time on the same machine?

That would be a bit tight. What’s the minimum RAM for plotting now, I forget…

It’s 3400mb. I would leave at least 2gb for the farmer, but I’m not sure how much it takes…

Thanks for your reply I had read that guide. A friend on Reddit said he was able to run 9 jobs and it only used about 22GB of ram on Windows would you believe? That seems overly optimistic. I’m limited to 12 threads so I might be running 8 at time or less. My Windows computer has 16GB atm but I hate to overspend on a 64GB upgrade if I don’t need too. Just wondered what other people were doing in a similar setup. I plan to run everything on linux once my ssd for the host os arrives tomorrow.
