Hey guys, I’ve got a batch 9 7640u DIY order

I’m a computer engineering student, hoping to be able to run a bunch of containers with an embedded hardware/firmware career path. CAD prices are roughly as follows. I can probably deal with 32GB but I do tend to like having 10 datasheets and a bunch of tabs open.

32GB CL46 - $137 32GB CL40 - $165 64GB CL46 - $237 64GB CL40 - $290

Where do you guys see the best value here?

Even for a bunch of tabs and programs opened, you shouldn't run into problems with 32GB. Except if you really need it of course (you would probably know this already though, if it was limiting you).

Do you intend to game a bit on it? Because if so, I would recommend the CL40 RAM. If not, you probably are fine with CL46 because it is cheaper.

If you aren't sure about the capacity you could look up guides for your programs and use cases.
