Nope, no other reason! I'm just getting a decent deal on PC parts when I let my employer buy them for me so I have a tendency to splurge on tech without really double-checking the specs. Can't justify that with the current RAM prices though haha
But thanks for the tip! I'll keep it in mind when I do actually decide to upgrade sometime
I built my first PC last November and because RAM was about 2-3 times the price that it should have been I passed on it. Now it's like 5x the price and it's not even a choice anymore, but I think I still made the right decision by not financially supporting those prices. Got 16GB of second hand SODIMM and some Sodimm to Dimm adapters and honestly the PC is fine. In my original parts list I had planned to get 128GB just to max out the board and not think about it ever again (would have been a reasonable 550€ back in September) but now I think I'll actually coast a bit longer with my 16GB. It should be fine for the next few years at least, especially since there's no overhead from Windows BS on my machine.
huh, so they've never used npm?
