    I try to make it a habit to build a whole new machine when a new AMD socket to accommodate a major memory standard comes out. Way I figure, many people will dump their older hardware, so I can get a bargain on top-shelf stuff of the older standard. So when DDR6 is out, I pick up a 1024gb of DDR5 and a Threadripper of the generation.

    While I don’t like the FOMO from not adopting the latest platform, my wallet much appreciates the mercy.

      I’ve got a specific savings account for computer upgrades so I can choose to upgrade whenever it gets enough money collected into it. Only problem is, I don’t want to upgrade that often!
