N100/N95 with 16GB RAM maximum enough for Proxmox? (alien.top)

I want to move from my RPi4 to a mini server, for example Beelink Mini s12 Pro (N100+16GB DDR4 Ram) or Blackview Mini Pc MP80 (N95+16GB LPDDR5 RAM). Currently I run Homeassistant+Paperless NGX and I want to run a Linux Distro additionally in the future.

So, this processor type only supports up to 16GB (officially). Will this be enough for Proxmox? Or should I switch to a Ryzen CPU to get 32GB+?

And also, should I choose LPDDR5 instead of DDR4 RAM? Most mini-pcs offer DDR4 ?!

Sorry, but the amount of different configurations of mini-pcs is so overwhelming.

It all boils down to what you want to use it with. 16GB is plenty for what you are describing right now, plus more in the future if you keep your installation tidy.

Would I limit myself with a max 16gb system? Probably not, unless I was certain my usage for that device is fixed or another external factor (e.g., I got a huge deal on that device)

Also keep in mind that N95/N100 are more power efficient than a Ryzen.
