I bought some expensive ram back when i bought my current CPU to maximize Factorio and that was about 200 €. Don’t even want to know how much it would be today. Also cheaped out and bought 16Gb ram for my home automation server last summer for less than 50€. Regrets hits me now as more would totally be better.
Yeah, I maxed the gaming rig (for Cities Skylines) when I should have been maxing the server. I’ll be okay. I don’t need the extra ram, it’s just nice to have a buffer.
Yeah even used ram is going for like 2x-3x the price I bought it at new. I just checked and similar capacity (4x 8GB) at lower speed (3200 compared to 3600) would cost me about 300-400€ now. And I paid about 70-80€ back then
I overbuilt my system when I bought it and am glad I did. I also prioritize heat management.
Yeah so glad I went with 32GB when ram was cheap.
Same. Spent about 65 € I think, now it’s looking like > 200 €

Me too. But I learned a while back that my cpu or slots are fucked and I can only have one stick installed at a time.
So I’m drowning in RAM that I cannot use. I could sell the RAM and get another motherboard but then I won’t have the RAM!
It’s not fair… It’s not fair.
That’s so “Gift of the Magi” 😭
