Do I want more memory or do I wait for two years…
I wait for two years. As long as the existing memory modules doesn’t break, Linux will continue to be happy with existing amount.
I built a PC for work (I’m going to take it with me when I leave) and I bought used adata ram (2x32gb) with a lifetime warranty on it. I immediately needed to send one of the sticks for warranty. I bought the initial set of ram in May, and yesterday I paid roughly the same for a used set of 2x16gb. The price of the 32gb sticks is prohibitively expensive now. I’m betting the price only goes up, just wish I would be at 128gb rather than 96gb.
We could have been so rich if we could have seen the future. Just buy tons of memory modules at low prices five years ago and sell them now. What a profit.
Its not like memory tech has changed so much either.
I would just feel like such a piece of shit scalping though.
If you could see the future, buying nvda a few years ago would have done the trick.
