You know the cool thing with RAM is that it’s modular and scalable…

So you can get a single 8GB or 16GB module for a few bucks to cover your basic needs and get another one or upgrade when the pricing situation improves.

Sort of, but you dont want to combine two sticks with different timings or frequency. So you gotta buy the high end ones straight away or be forced to remove the cheap one when you add better ones.

  Yeah, and slots are limited. So if you get a 4x smaller sticks - i.e. 8+8+8+8 for 32Gb, and find you need 64gb+ then you need to pull out the existing sticks in order to make room for 4x16 or 2x32 etc
