Comment on RAM Prices Got You Down? Try DDR3. Seriously!

  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.

  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.

    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
