I’m aware, thanks.

Now I’m just contemplating whether I should upgrade from 32 GB DDR4 to 64 or 128 while it’s still within the realm of possibility, or bet on memory prices coming back down within the next few years, and upgrade to an entirely new platform with DDR5 then.

Anyone remember RAMdisks?

remember that ram drive that gigabyte made like 20+ years ago?

That worked by putting sticks of ram in it, with… i think AA batteries? to maintain the data during power downs?
