I got a 12 GB RAM S10…
…not long after, I hear the news that the new flagships will have 12 GB RAM instead of 16 that were planned.
The value sure went up.
128GB DDR4 3080TI rig from 2022 still going strong, I feel I timed this well.
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.
I bought my machine a week before the true ramocalypse. Prices were high, and 128GB of RAM was like 30% of my budget already, but literally the following week prices rose to the point that I would not have been able to afford any of that
Fuck AI
Bought 128GB for €140 a couple years back, amazing deal looking back.
As one of those people I am decided not interesting in being represented by that…
I still have 32 GB of DDR in my drawer from when I upgraded to 64. I am too afraid to sell it because my current ram might break.
Decommissioned VM host my company was getting ready to toss out.
It’s all DDR4, but even that shit is expensive now.
I have a glorious 32GB of overclocked DDR3, how lucky am I.
Look at Mr moneybags over here…
I know right! Honnestly the 32gb of ddr3, 4790k and a new graphics card (switched from a 970 to a rx7600 is got for cheap) is still surprisingly capable of running games.

As long as people do not know where I live I’ll be safe.
Back in '22 I bought 64gb of ram because I wanted to have all my slots populated. For aesthetic purposes.
Yup that’s pretty much me… “Well I’ve got these ports and RAM isn’t expensive so let’s go!”
Haven’t yet needed it really but it’s nice to know it’s there.
“640K ought to be enough for anybody.”
Ugh I have 16 GB and I decided to look uo how much it was cost to fill the other 2 slots, it is almost double.
Four sticks of ram are usually worse than two with regards to speed. Just FYI.
I was lucky I was able to get 16 GB a few weeks ago when some was on sale on Newegg, ‘only’ $255
I hate myself for thinking that “no, I don’t need an upgrade just because, I’m fine with what I have” one year ago (and I was also hesitant because of the dying CPUs on AM5). 32 ain’t cutting it for me any more, I’m aiming for 96 or 128, but definitely not before this whole thing blows over.
64GB, just because it was cheap enough. Also, back when I used Photoshop, it would take advantage of however much RAM you threw at it.
Bought new computer in September 2024, to play cities skylines 2.
So, thanks you CS2
Before the rampocolypse I replaced 2x32GB sticks in my home server with 2x64GB sticks. I recently found I kept those 2x32GB sticks so I have 64GB of RAM sitting in my closet. I’m not sure if I should sell, or build something around that because I already have the most expensive piece now.
