    I bought my somewhat high-end PC in late 2025, two months before RAMageddon. Two people advised me against it. They said it wasn’t a good time to buy because prices were already a bit high. I’m glad I didn’t follow their advice.

    I still have 32 GB of DDR in my drawer from when I upgraded to 64. I am too afraid to sell it because my current ram might break.

    Bought 128GB for €140 a couple years back, amazing deal looking back.

    Back in '22 I bought 64gb of ram because I wanted to have all my slots populated. For aesthetic purposes.

      Yup that’s pretty much me… “Well I’ve got these ports and RAM isn’t expensive so let’s go!”

      Haven’t yet needed it really but it’s nice to know it’s there.

    Decommissioned VM host my company was getting ready to toss out.

    It’s all DDR4, but even that shit is expensive now.

      Four sticks of ram are usually worse than two with regards to speed. Just FYI.

      I was lucky I was able to get 16 GB a few weeks ago when some was on sale on Newegg, ‘only’ $255

    64GB, just because it was cheap enough. Also, back when I used Photoshop, it would take advantage of however much RAM you threw at it.

    I hate myself for thinking that “no, I don’t need an upgrade just because, I’m fine with what I have” one year ago (and I was also hesitant because of the dying CPUs on AM5). 32 ain’t cutting it for me any more, I’m aiming for 96 or 128, but definitely not before this whole thing blows over.

    Before the rampocolypse I replaced 2x32GB sticks in my home server with 2x64GB sticks. I recently found I kept those 2x32GB sticks so I have 64GB of RAM sitting in my closet. I’m not sure if I should sell, or build something around that because I already have the most expensive piece now.
