All I can do is pray that my current RAM survives long enough for this stupid AI bubble to burst, like with the Crypto-Bro GPUs.
But it is kind of horrifying how easily consumers have been priced out of the RAM market - at least for newer stuff anyways
I'm good as far as amounts are concerned (32 GB; on a DDR4 platform), though I still wanted to upgrade to 64 for the sake of not needing to swap when running a bunch of things at once.
Now I think I'm just going to wait for DDR6 and upgrade my entire setup because it's going to take a few years and by then the AI bubble should've popped already.
Last weekend my PC didn't start up, it was beeping an error code. I was so scared of it being a memory issue while diagnosing.
But luckily it was a video error code. And after swapping out the GPU and still getting the beep, even more luckily, it turned out to be the display being stuck in a bad state and just needing a reboot.
I might upgrade to GabeCube from my current rig i7 6820k from 10 years ago, but still a year or 2 away from replacing this rig.
I also hope my RAM survives. Good luck friend! This rando from Lemmy wishes you the best (if I win a lottery I'll buy you a new rig!)
