Be careful what you wish for, with RAM prices soaring owning a home computer might become less of an option. Luckily we can get a subscription for computing power easily!

Computers are too powerful and too cheap. Bring back COBOL, painfully expensive CPU time, and some sort of basic knowledge of what’s actually going on.
Pain for everyone!

I built a new PC early October, literally 2 weeks later RAM prices went nuts… so glad I pulled the trigger when I did

Yeah I think around the Pentium 200mhz point was the sweet spot. Powerful enough to do a lot of things, but not so powerful that software can be as inefficient and wasteful as it is today.

I share a similar sentiment, but I’d place the turning point somewhere between 1 and 2 GHz.
