so lucky i got my 64gigs pc a year ago and upgraded my laptop in spring

@fiore truke

@fiore i finally upgraded to 32GB lol

@snacks @fiore my pc has 24gigs of ram

@snacks @fiore :)

@MalibuSunrise @snacks thats enough i think . i literally got 64 because it cost just a smidge over the 32 kit

@fiore @snacks ig beefy pc can come in handy

for nerdsssss

@twinspin6 @MalibuSunrise @snacks i loterally do not remember . it was last november , and by “smidge” i mean compared to the build total price

@twinspin6 @MalibuSunrise @snacks i think i got ddr4 but also , double the price meant like 70 euros more last year . ona 800€ build , thats nothing

@fiore @MalibuSunrise @twinspin6 i'm wondering how that budget works out without being insanely cpu heavy now

@snacks @MalibuSunrise @twinspin6 actually mightve been 700 i dont remember

but yea its an aight cpu w intrgrated graphics

@snacks @MalibuSunrise @twinspin6 not top tier . i literally cant remember the model rn

@fiore @MalibuSunrise @twinspin6 you already answered my question, dw

@fiore @snacks @twinspin6 @MalibuSunrise personal rule of thumb is 8 GB per CPU core so my PC at home has 64GB and my laptop has 16, and that’s basically perfect

@fiore are ddr3 prices high too ?

@tisanae no clue

@fiore @tisanae probably not on account of noone really using ddr3 anymore

@fiore i am hella lucky that i got this laptop in january, 64gb of ram alone would cost $350 now. granted the cpu limits it to 2667MHz but realistically ive never encountered an issue where it felt like my ram wasnt fast enough

also, pro tip people: keep your laptops. take them apart if you dont have space, but keep the parts. i have 16gb of ram on the laptop-cum-server that this instance is hosted on cause i tore down my 3rd most recent laptop and then put its ram into it. (the reason it's a server is that I dropped it like eight times and when i dropped it in january the bottom casing cracked open and like it's not falling apart but i did not trust it to stay that way even with the duct tape. the nice thing about laptop-servers is that if your DHCP decides to play tricks on you and make it so that literally every device but your computer can ping your server and (theoretically) ssh into it there's a terminal right there.

@coolbean @fiore yey:), im only using ddr3 (am not buying any anyways)

@tisanae @fiore i used to use ddr3

@coolbean @fiore ddr3 is good

@tisanae @fiore ...on an am3+ computer

@tisanae @fiore 8 real cores!

@coolbean @fiore what's that :0

@tisanae @fiore old amd socket from the mid 2010s

@coolbean @fiore cool
