    the thing with ram and AI is that these things are turned into ramdrives, even with ddr2 speeds, ramdrives could still be somewhat on par with modern ssd. Now that theres some AI models that could run on drives, the "economics" of hardware in relation to AI will remain painful for common folks who likes computers. fuck this shit tbh.
