    Confused about system RAM and GPU RAM

    I read that DL uses the memory in the GPU. Thus, a computer with 8-16GB is good enough. However, in Kaggle, I heard people using 64, 128 or even 256GB RAM in the computer. This seems to be contradictory. Can anybody please clarify this? Is it recommended to get 64 or even 128GB RAM? Thanks
