I went to a pc building shop and the price of 64 RAM DDR5 was over $1000. I could have built an entire PC with that price a year ago.

I guess my ageing i5-8400, 16GB, GTX 1060 rig can keep hobbling along a while yet.

Although I was amused to see my Legion Go S actually has a more powerful CPU now.

    Did some server maintenance yesterday, including driver updates. Broke my system since it updated my Nvidia driver to 590.x which no longer supports our little 1060s. Had to roll back the driver, thankfully easy. Suppose I better start keeping an eye out for some sort of upgrade...

    Amd 9070xt and 9060xt options are probably the best you are going to get for the next 2 years.

    Dont buy Nvidia again. They just end of lifed the 10th most popular GPU used with Steam.
