First rule in computer building is to always buy twice as much RAM as you actually need so you can just remove the bad stick when this happens

Second rule of computer building is just keep the receipt until after it passes 40 minutes of memtest. Third rule is to ignore rule one, nobody does that.

I always heard the first rule as “stay grounded”. Having 1TB of RAM just as backup sounds npt gronded.

A spare kit or two should be enough for most folks.

  Needing 1TB of RAM is far outside the standard case.

    Not if you manage 10 PCs and a few servers across the family.
