I went 2 to 4, and honestly my 5800x w 32GB DDR4 @3800 from 2020 is still just fine, hopefully till this shitshow shakes out.
Comment on RAM Prices Got You Down? Try DDR3. Seriously!

Yeah I’m on a 5700 or something with 64 GB of DDR4 and I don’t see any issues with it yet. I went that route because I could keep my mobo and it was also way cheaper than DDR5 back then. I figured I’d rather have more older RAM than a full system upgrade.
Is RAM already at a price that it’s worth considering selling one of those sticks? :3

I’ve noticed my ram speed much less than the amount of ram for quite some time.
SSDs were game changers.

My mom and dad both have ancient machines at home and I swapped both to SATA SSDs. The improvement was incredible. They went from basically unusable, in my opinion, to completely functional for anything they would be doing.
