Will 32GB of RAM stop Chrome from reloading tabs?

Yes, probably. If you keep 50+ tabs open, 32GB is the sweet spot — Chrome is a memory hog, and 16GB starts dumping inactive tabs around 30-40. With 32GB, you can comfortably sit at 50-80 tabs before noticing reloading. But if you run 100+ tabs plus heavy apps, even 32GB might choke. Save yourself the headache and get 32GB.
