OK stupid question. How much ram should your pc have to run games decently. Because I have a Lenove gaming pad 3 and it just uses about 6 gigs of ram.

Depends on the game in question.
...If you are playing games from the 90's... 1MB-256MB is generally sufficient.

But for modern high-end games of today, 32GB is the current sweet spot in terms of price/performance.
If you are only playing mainstream/casual/moderate games like Fortnite, then 16GB is more than enough.

It is also very dependent on the other hardware... No point dropping 128GB of Ram into a PC that only has a Core 2 Quad to run Hogwarts Legacy and hoping it will make the difference.

But if your PC only has 6GB of Ram... Then you are likely running with a 4GB and a 2GB stick which will impact performance anyway, especially if the device is using integrated graphics... You need two of the same size modules for more bandwidth.
