Guess I'll keep using my DDR3 machine for a few more years.
Legit thinking of selling RAM sticks to rich people so that I can pay rent a bit easier lol (not actually loling)
Is RAM finally worth more than a kidney? I have two of those but I have 4 32GB ram sticks, can I keep my kidneys when I need to pay my bills?
You and I, friend.
We'll recycle A pile of scrapped computers and we'll be in Belize by winter!

Hell yeah, another fellow user of DDR3. It'll live forever!
I don't really see a reason to upgrade, my i5 from 2009 is still running fine. Damn, now that I'm writing it out, that does sound old
Isn’t ddr4 pretty affordable at this point?
Not really. A lot of regular consumers got priced out of DDR5 so they went back to DDR4 and now it's insanely priced too. Like $150+ for a 2x8GB sticks
Ooooooof. Fuck everything.
Even ddr3 has gone slightly up, which is insane
No. Even DDR3 prices have skyrocketed.
