Yeah, when you want to upgrade your PC but the parts in your PC don't support upgrading, you'll have to replace those parts. Where's the issue?

    The issue is that's a weird alternative to just buying some DDR4 RAM.

    We don't want to be stuck making DDR4 RAM forever, or mobos that only use DDR4 RAM, etc.

    There comes a time where you have to just move on to new hardware.

    Sure, not forever obviously. I'm not suggesting that. But why right now when I already have a DDR4 setup that works fine and just needed some more RAM for some applications? It just seems overkill to replace everything now for questionable benefit when I could always buy new kit later.
