I know it. Super wish I had more than 16GB these days. I even added enough to max out my system to my Amazon wish list back when it was cheap. Should have pulled the trigger when I had the chance. Not doing so will be my greatest deathbed regret.
I upgraded to 64GB which I don’t really need, just because it was cheap.
Now it’s looking like this is going to be my forever system because affordability is dead.
Same. At least so far my 64GB RAM, 7700X, and 6700XT has been more than plenty for the games that I play.
64GB DDR5 and a Rx 7800 xt and 2TB m.2 for less than 1k before windows cut off win10 support. I use it for streaming and factorio and arch isos
Bought 128 gb DDR4 and a 7900 XT… that system quite literally sits in my basement as my main driver is a Linux laptop with an external monitor. So busy with work and school that gaming took a backseat.
Dont tell me you also brought storage while it was cheap. At least lie and say you got cooked on that.
I definitely failed on that end. Lol. I got like two 1tb nvme’s before prices went mad and I stupidly decided to build a media server. That’s another machine that currently sits unused… Mostly because it’s empty. Lol. One nvme is in my laptop. The other went to my daughter.
I can take it off your hands if you wanna clear up some space in your basement 😃
Shit fam, i got 64gb of corsair DDR 3 dimms I ain’t even using
My friend always had our hand me down pc’s and parts. One day he texted me, saying he wants to build his own pc and send me some infos. I said it looks fine and all. He asked if he should wait for black friday. I told him no, because we’re not in amerikkka and it doesn’t make a big difference if all. I thought i should build a new pc too, because mine was just as outdated, and bought my parts. By the time i have ordered and picked them up, the guy behind the counter was already like: ufff holy shit, saved some mobey there huh?
Yeah… I built my wife a machine with 64 GB of RAM in ~October of 25 right before the prices spiked. Really kicking myself for not going all in and building a NAS setup at that same time. I can’t realistically bring myself to purchase 4tb hard drives or ram at this point - it’s too damn expensive.

I got 32tb like a month before shit started blowing up. I didn’t really need it at the time but the price was good so I jumped on it. So glad I did.
I really want to go in for a nas, but fuck… I guess I’ll get by with my motley collection of external hard drives…
Yeah…recently wanted to replace my aging 8TB drives in the server. Thought I’d probably get twice as much for the same price or the same way cheaper. Boy was I wrong and sad
I built a nas and bought my wife a 64gb laptop eoy 2025. considereing myself lucky.
must have picked up like 6 4tb nvme drives and bunch of rust drives
not nearly that pasty, but ding ding ding
Bought a new laptop in 2022 and the upgrade from 32 to 64gb was laughably cheap compared to the rest of the laptop, so I just did it for the fun of it
Nowadays I think I could buy most of the laptop just from the resale price of the ram
Lucky me bought 768GB shortly before it went up. For my server and gaming-rig. Now the ram alone would nearly have paid the whole 2 PCs. Jeez. Fuck you all.
I have three 32gb ddr5 PCs, trying to sell one for $600 but crypto bros keep offering $350 because “Chatgpt said so”
Price is 900 for mentioning ai
64Gb gang shout out!
Edit: Its now an investment!
I live in fear one of the memories will stop working
I’ve lost a lot more than one.
I can’t quite figure out the timeline of the jobs I’ve had. Memories of things that happened on those jobs don’t line up with when I think I was on the jobs. I feel like I have the order all mixed up.
Recently, I was trying to remember the name of one of my old girlfriends. I can picture her clearly, but her name is gone. It will probably come to me at some point.
This is shit you think about when you get old. If you want to remember these things, start a journal, and keep it. You think you can’t possibly forget, but you do.
(Yeah, I know you meant memory sticks.)
256GB of DDR5 and a 80TB NAS back in 2025 - although recently my NAS dropped a drive and I had to replace it, which was expensive.
Make sure to get the old one replaced if it’s still under warranty.
I did my rebuild before January 2025 cause I thought DJT was going to fuck up world trade, I underestimated how shitty the AI Bros are.
I have 16GB of VRAM too, baybee.
My 2023 framework 16 is rocking 64gb.
