I wanted to upgrade to at least 64 or ideally 128 last year. Ideally a new build with AM5 and DDR5, though an upgrade in-place would’ve been useful too. Then RAM prices started shooting up and now I don’t know if I’m upgrading anytime soon at all.
Though now I’m considering just biting the bullet and getting 2 extra sticks of DDR4 and a zen 3 CPU to keep my rig going for another 4 or 5 years. 32 -> 64 GB and 6 -> 12 or 16 cores. Trouble is, if I upgrade my current computer, I’d have to do it out of my own money, whereas if I build a new one, I can make it a business PC since I do in fact use it for work more than gaming. Between income tax, VAT and everything, a business PC is like 50% cheaper than a personal PC for me. So now I’m riding out decision paralysis hoping that RAM will get cheaper again and I can build a brand new PC in a year or 2 lol

What are you doing to be struggling with 32GB of RAM? Like my home server is definitely RAM limited right now with 32GB but that’s a server not a PC
