Nota214 10/31/25 8:32:05 PM #13:	Limelol posted... Amazon has hiked prices up ahead of Black Friday. I went and checked out what I payed for RAM earlier this year and I payed $175 for a 64GB kit. That same kit doesn't even seem to be available right now on Amazon but similar kits costs between $335 to $430. That's just nuts. Looking at the prices, you can save some money if you buy XMP profile RAM over EXPO. This is where understanding timings and being comfortable setting a profile in the BIOS could save you about $100. --- This post generated by AI slop <cite>Nota214 posted [p:986900370] in Holy shit ...

Largely because overtime things just need more RAM and if you're getting by on the minimum now, then you're going to run into issues sooner. I would say 32gb right now is a good spot. It's more than enough looking out towards the future especially if you game on PC. --- http://i.imgur.com/BBcZDLJ.png <cite>Tmaster148 posted [p:986902094] in Holy shit ...

Lazy_Haar 11/01/25 2:23:00 PM #34:	I just looked and the 32GB of RAM I bought for my new laptop back in June (not even five months now) has gone from $78 to $162. On the desktop side of things, I've been using the same one for 5 years now and haven't felt the need to upgrade, so as long as nothing breaks, I'm good. Funny story, though, the only reason my desktop has 32GB is because Amazon accidentally sent me a set of 16x2 instead of the 8x2 I ordered back then. On a related note, nothing has come out in recent years that needs more than what I have (desktop has a 5600x and 3060 Ti, laptop has an AI 7 350 and 5060) to run at at least 60 FPS, even if that requires setting things to low (and for me, almost anything new looks good enough to my eyes even at those settings). Part of it just might be that almost nothing AAA has caught my attention in a long time, though, and I don't see that changing any time soon. --- PTCGP Friend Code: 4495150926799691 (Goose) <cite>Lazy_Haar posted [p:986906143] in Holy shit ...
