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.

      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.

        I have a friend that runs 128g of RAM. He uses the computer almost entirely for Reddit and stock tracking

        You must have 1TB of GPUs, else, you can’t even run Doom in proper resolution!

      My PC has 32GB of RAM. I can run a video game while having a fuckton of browser tabs open. I could probably get away with 16.
