RAM shortages have seen prices on DDR5 memory skyrocket, where a 64GB kit of DDR5-6000 now costs $599 after 'price cuts', more expensive than a PS5.

    My 32 GB of RAM isn’t going to last me until the bubble bursts, is it? God dammit.

        I was running 16 for years and only recently upgraded when I hit a wall with modern games. I think the majority of games are fine with 16.

      Are you running a hypervisor?

        I had to Google hypervisor before I could answer. No, I’m not running any virtual machines on my computer. It’s pretty much just a media machine: games, movies, music, websites, etc.

          Then 32 is more than enough for many more years to come.

            Thanks for saying so! A lot of people will tell gamers that they need 64 or even 96 so it’s difficult to know what’s actually true.
