And those of us with servers pray every day a stick won't fail. But at least people can talk to robots and make slop on demand...

This must be what it feels like to have bought a house in the 1970s

People who built 32+gb ram systems in 2026:

256 GB DDR4 here, kinda considering selling some of it now...

Bought 128 gb DDR4 and a 7900 XT... that system quite literally sits in my basement as my main driver is a Linux laptop with an external monitor. So busy with work and school that gaming took a backseat.

I bought a 22 tb drive the very day that dumb orangutan first threatened tarrifs. The price has more than doubled since then.

I have three 32gb ddr5 PCs, trying to sell one for $600 but crypto bros keep offering $350 because "Chatgpt said so"

Price is 900 for mentioning ai

Grieve with me, I just lost a ram stick so it's down to 24. Possibly less depending on my Asrock's ability to manage 3 instead of 2 pairs

64Gb gang shout out!

Edit: Its now an investment!

I live in fear one of the memories will stop working

64GB DDR5 and a Rx 7800 xt and 2TB m.2 for less than 1k before windows cut off win10 support. I use it for streaming and factorio and arch isos

My friend who built 128GB home server in 2024.

Yeah... I built my wife a machine with 64 GB of RAM in ~October of 25 right before the prices spiked. Really kicking myself for not going all in and building a NAS setup at that same time. I can't realistically bring myself to purchase 4tb hard drives or ram at this point - it's too damn expensive.

I did my rebuild before January 2025 cause I thought DJT was going to fuck up world trade, I underestimated how shitty the AI Bros are.

I have 16GB of VRAM too, baybee.

128GB DDR4 3080TI rig from 2022 still going strong, I feel I timed this well.

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

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

I bought my somewhat high-end PC in late 2025, two months before RAMageddon. 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.

Shit fam, i got 64gb of corsair DDR 3 dimms I ain't even using

Back in '22 I bought 64gb of ram because I wanted to have all my slots populated. For aesthetic purposes.

I know it. Super wish I had more than 16GB these days. I even added enough to max out my system to my Amazon wish list back when it was cheap. Should have pulled the trigger when I had the chance. Not doing so will be my greatest deathbed regret.

I got rather lucky with my purchase timing, tho I was just getting more RAM to deal with my 1300 Firefox tabs.

Bought a new laptop in 2022 and the upgrade from 32 to 64gb was laughably cheap compared to the rest of the laptop, so I just did it for the fun of it

Nowadays I think I could buy most of the laptop just from the resale price of the ram

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

My friend always had our hand me down pc's and parts. One day he texted me, saying he wants to build his own pc and send me some infos. I said it looks fine and all. He asked if he should wait for black friday. I told him no, because we're not in amerikkka and it doesn't make a big difference if all. I thought i should build a new pc too, because mine was just as outdated, and bought my parts. By the time i have ordered and picked them up, the guy behind the counter was already like: ufff holy shit, saved some mobey there huh?

I just bought 24gb of ram (I work in IT and it's always good to have some extra 8gb sticks).

it got stolen since the USPS delivery person couldn't be bothered to follow directions and leave it inside. and I can't get my money back :(

not nearly that pasty, but ding ding ding

256GB of DDR5 and a 80TB NAS back in 2025 - although recently my NAS dropped a drive and I had to replace it, which was expensive.
