    I got a 12 GB RAM S10…

    …not long after, I hear the news that the new flagships will have 12 GB RAM instead of 16 that were planned.

    The value sure went up.

    I still have 32 GB of DDR in my drawer from when I upgraded to 64. I am too afraid to sell it because my current ram might break.

    Bought 128GB for €140 a couple years back, amazing deal looking back.

    I bought my high-end PC two months before RAMageddon in late 2025. Two people advised me against it. They said it wasn’t a good time to buy because prices were already a bit high. I’m glad I didn’t follow their advice.

      I bought my machine a week before the true ramocalypse. Prices were high, and 128GB of RAM was like 30% of my budget already, but literally the following week prices rose to the point that I would not have been able to afford any of that

      Fuck AI

    64GB, just because it was cheap enough. Also, back when I used Photoshop, it would take advantage of however much RAM you threw at it.

    Decommissioned VM host my company was getting ready to toss out.

    It’s all DDR4, but even that shit is expensive now.

      Yup that’s pretty much me… “Well I’ve got these ports and RAM isn’t expensive so let’s go!”

      Haven’t yet needed it really but it’s nice to know it’s there.

    I hate myself for thinking that “no, I don’t need an upgrade just because, I’m fine with what I have” one year ago (and I was also hesitant because of the dying CPUs on AM5). 32 ain’t cutting it for me any more, I’m aiming for 96 or 128, but definitely not before this whole thing blows over.
