32GB of DDR4 RAM should last me the rest of the decade vidya-wise, right? I'm kind of regretting going for a 4x8GB kit instead of 4x16GB.
>ddr4heh. poorfag
>>730812650your motherboard wont last 5 years and DDR4 boards are no longer being made, the last of them are being sold off.tick tock
>>730812650NGMIMy ram is worth more than gold.
>>730812650It'll last you a lifetime, because all the computing will be done in cloud by AI by the end of the decade.
>>730812793>you NEED to have the LATEST hardware at all timesFor what games?
>>730812793>your motherboard wont last 5 yearsThis is genuinely retarded.The only PC component I have ever seen fail in 20 years is PSUs. Everything else is immortal.
>>730812937not the point. in 5 years time your DDR4 ram will be useless if you cant buy a motherboard for it
>>730812937Anything running UE5 at this point.
>>730813003>every ddr4 motherboard will cease to exist just because production stoppedretard>can't answer my question eithershill retard
>>730812824This shitshow will burn by the end of the decade
>>730812824that's delusional and no one is going to sign off on itno one in the enterprise wants to spend all that money on insanely powerful internet that can let the entire building stream shit, consumers don't have internet good enough for it and they won't tolerate the latencya bunch of schizo billionaires don't get to dictate what people like
>>730813003ddr4 motherboards with AM4 sockets have come back into production with the current troubles
>>730812943I've experienced 2 GPUs and 1 mobo dying on me.
>>730812793>your motherboard wont last 5 yearsThere are motherboards from the 90s that are fully functional to this day, what are you on about?
>>730813042you're dumb as fuck. try buying a new DDR3 motherboard today. you cant they are all second hand on ebay.you be in the same situation with a DDR4 motherboard in 5 years time you fucking simpleton.
>>730813112>t. 12th gen intel CPU that fried his other partsDoesn't count.
>>730813105>that's delusional and no one is going to sign off on it>No one's going to pay for a horse armor>No one is going to pay for a season pass DLC>No one is going to pay for lootboxes>No one is going to spend money of Free2Play games>No one is going to pay money for anime girls pngs>No one is going to pay for subscription models of programs>No one is going to give up their privacy for comfort<<<<<We are here
>>730812943>>730813129you've owned two motherboards in your entire life, you know nothing.I fix PCs as my job and have seen hundreds of boards fail from customers.you probably dont even know what a bulging capacitor looks like or what that even means, kek.
>>730812943>Everything else is immortaldepends on who made it. i've had two asus motherboards shit the bed on me and a msi gpu as well.
>>730813112Lol turdworlder. Every pc I have every owned still works even the stupid windows 98 dell. I live in Las Vegas and didn't have a/c for like twenty years.
>>730812650Yeah, dude. Youre good. Dont listen to the browns.
>>730813147>try buying a new ddr3 motherboard todaypage 1 of 7.
>>730813241thats video game shit and gamers are morons, the privacy stuff isn't actually being directly felt by the user, cloud computing will and enterprise is not gonna use cloud computers because its a massive security risk ontop of being a massive cost
>>730812793Fucking retard. I have a 15yo gaming PC with a 2600k still playing games every single day.
>>730813147>try buying a new DDR3 motherboardwow that was hard
>>730813262>why do I come across broken shit as a repair manYour bait is shit and you're retarded.
>>730813105>>730813241I work for a bank's IT department. Every single service will be moved to cloud by the end of this year. /v/ is delusional if they think everything won't move to the cloud.
>>730812650don't worry pc brosintel will bring back its Core2Duo series with 2 GB RAM, only for $599
>>730813262>what is sampling bias
>bought my pc literal days before the price hikes startedFor once I feel like I bought it at the exact correct time
>>730813586are you getting rid of all the fucking computers and replacing them with a streamed vm? don't fucking think so
>>730813992>are you getting rid of all the fucking computers No>and replacing them with a streamed vm? Yeah, everything that has been migrated so far runs on VMs on AWS. In fact I'm migrating one of my servers there.
>>730812793>your motherboard wont last 5 yearsMy Pentium 3 Dell computer from February 2002 is running right now. I have a 486 from 1994 that works perfectly as well.
>>730813586Hacker heaven holy fuck
>>730813147so they ARE available? moving your own goalposts here faggot
>>730814259That's not how it works. Hackers ENTERING THE MAINFRAME is pure fiction; they simply steal people's login data via malware or social engineering.
>>730813262My dad was having issues with these capacitors like twice a year. He gradually replaced like twelve of them in total without anyone's help like a champ.
>>730814437>steal datacenter login info>get access to everythingPutting everything under one umbrella just means everyone gets soaked when the one holding it shits the bed
>>730812793>I MUST OVERCLOCK AND I WONDER WHY MY COMPONENTS FAIL OVERCLOOOOOOOOOOKING IM GONNA OVERCLOOOOOOOOOOK
>>730813586>there are hundreds (if not billions) computers >somehow cloud will replace themI don't buy it
>>730813818>Got my MOBO, CPU, GPU, case, PSU, fans, and first NVME drive mere hoursls before global tariffs were announced in January>Got a hard drive in february>Upgraded to 96gb 2x48 Ram in march (and paid $30 for the extra special warranty, because why not)>Got a second NVME drive in augustI have no clue how my timing is so lucky.
>>730813372>from ChinaThose are instant NOPEs
>>730815684Remember that global Windows 11 bluescreen that hit a few months back, that put airports and hospitals out of commission? Watch them go and do that, but make it permanent and use AI as a scapegoat.
>>730815684Most are labeled "e-waste" because Microsoft only supports the current latest hardware. Anything older than a few years is basically worthless in the eyes of normalcattle. If all companies are willing to sell is cloud computers, they will buy them and that will be the new standard.
>>730812824>oops
>>730815725I got a 4090 for 1600 bucks new right before production ended and all the prices skyrocketed.
>>730813818>Went in half-and-half with my parents on an almost maxed out prebuild a few months before the ram under the excuse that "I'll use it for model training at home during grad school!" >Still feel slightly down that I didn't go for 96 gigs of ram and I'm stuck at 64 gigs till the end of time due to pricesI know I'm being a greedy piece of shit but the "what if's" are killing me, especially since RAM has become even more useful for data loading, preprocessing, and offloading portions of a model. Still though, even outside of using this thing for running shit at home, I'll probably be fine to not upgrade for the next 12 years
But who's going to save porn on a cloud computer, and deal with buffering and ads they didn't have on their local machines? Did they forget Computing trends always converge towards what best serves porn and vidya?
>>730813147China never stopped producing DDR3 mobos. You can find them on Newegg, Ali, eBay, and Amazon for like $40-$60.
>>730813105>People didn´t give a shit about amazon gaming>JB thinks amazon CLOUD gaming would be different
>>730816082Normalfags never save anything and are used to seeing ads.
>>730814259Corporation owners (billionaires) don't actually care about that. It's always easy for them to weasel out of any blame when that happens. Especially when the government is backing them, taxpayer money will cover any damages. They will put gladly put all their eggs in one basket as long as they get to pocket more money. AI is the perfect catalyst for this, and normalcattle don't care about the negative implications it will have on them because they aren't capable of thinking beyond the immediate feedback response. They are cattle.
Better start buying those $10 Core 2 Duos and i5-2500ks because they're next
>>730816135Only stuff with zero real time elements whatsoever like Balatro are playable over cloud. Even Bloons Tower Defence has some real time to it, like abilities. It just won't work.
>>730816087I´m getting a ddr3 MB for my old I5 since it has the lan, audio, and apparently one of the slots for the ram are fucked for 40 or so... And now it seems they added a NVE slot for those boards.
>>730816243I would genuinely sooner give up gaming entirely than play with latencyInput lag is the worst, and I play mostly soulslop so there is literally no chance in hell that will ever work
>>730812793>DDR4 boards are no longer being madeyes they are and you bet your homosexual ass you'll see a lot more production with the DDR5 apocalypse.
>>730817125DDR4 is being hit by all this shit too, sadly. Not at the same rate, but...I was going to get 16gb 3200 3 weeks ago and was like 70-75€ , now its arround 120€
>>730816021I would do this if I could go back in time. I just didn't care about raytracing, I was not aware how unoptimized games have become or UEslop.
>>730817341It's being hit, but not nearly as bad as DDR4. Here it was already 120€ a few weeks ago and has not gone up since, there's probably a slight uptick at some point after the second hand market starts to dry out of cheaper low capacity sticks, but so far so good.
>>730813262i always want to bite into it like it's candy but i don't
>>730812793jokes on you, I always keep a stock of 2 reserve mobos of the same generation as my current cpu in case the current one goes bad
>>730812650>DDR4Kek
>>730812650>4 sticksLMAO
>>730816135These companies will keep pushing this shit because "Everything as a service" is basically free money if you can persuade people to use it, and the gaming market is fucking huge.
>>730812824still needs a pc to connect to the "cloud"
>>730817954Still perfectly viable with DDR4, unlike DDR5.
>>730820092Wait, what's wrong with 4 DDR5 sticks?
>>730820883Much slower speeds due to stability reasons.
>>730812650operating system + 2025 game never goes beyond 18GB. You are good for next 5-7 years.
the solution is to just play old games and never upgradewhat a coincidence the stats on steam reflect this
>>730821292>stats on steam reflect thiscan you link?
>>730812650Bro you can't even run minesweeper without 64 GB DDR5 and a 5090.It's over for you you'll never play a video game again.
>>730821336NTA, but there´s that info about 70% or so steam users using a pc "weaker" than a ps5, along with those articles claiming that the vast majority of games played of steam are 5-10 years old.This shit will go like what happened with youtube adds a year ago, they started ramping up trying to fuck people who used addblock, that normies got affected too, and the not-so-normie friends of those made them discover that you could play videos on YT without adds, making the amount of people who used addblock explode
>>730813262>I know my bulges!Confirmed tranny.
>>730812650Only do 2 sticks instead of 4, because otherwise you have to lower the clock speeds. I use 2x32 GB
>>730821336in 2025 only like 10% of users were playing new releases
>Bought a semi-decent computer two days before RAM shit hit the fan. >Been playing on a fucking 750ti frankenstein machine for like five years before that. it's like that vietnam song in reverse, it is actually me.
>>730812650>DDR4
>>730818095>Life as a serviceI mean we're not fully there yet, but man I'm very curious how shitty the future will become
>>730825298>implying you don't need a food subscription to keep your access to life
>>730812650>4 modulesDumbass
>>730812793A mobo will last forever.
>>730812937Actually, you don't want to futureproof with the latest hardware for video games. People who thought that got rugpulled with the 4090. You need better equipment for something as Simone as everyday browsing nowadays. For instance, to run Chrome or Firefox today, you need at least 8GB ram available. It wasn't the case 4 years ago and certainly not 15 years ago. Modern devs create software with the assumption that the end user will own stronger and stronger hardware. The increased computing power cost falls upon the consumer to pay and allow for devs being lazy. You've already seen this in modern games that are now reliant on framegen and upscaling for minimum performance. The same thing has been taking place for all kind of supposedly user-friendly software for the last 15 years.Corporate greed, misuse of the ellectron and javascript languages added to vibe coder shitters are to blame. To run the official Discord client well, you need a 9800X 3D and 32GB DDR5 ram at minimum. Otherwise you encounter small delays, stutters and whatnot. It's not unusable, but clearly it wasn't designed with the average consumer laptop in mind.
>>730816296Just be wary of the manual possibly being in Mandarin or broken English. I believe Machinist is the most widely trusted brand.
>>730812793you need to jump from the nearest bridge right meow
>>730812650mostly 2 sticks are better than 4. mostly

>>730815725I got my computer together just about when you did but unfortunately I wanted to wait until black friday / Christmas '25 to get my second NVME derive so I had to eat some extra cost there.
I lucked out and found a 2TB NVMe on Amazon for £100 a few days ago, most drives with that capacity are selling for more than twice that muchAll I need now is a 1000W PSU
>>730827740Maybe console fags were right all along. Look where PC master race brought us. You have to upgrade every 2 years to keep up. At least consoles forced some standards back then. PC pirate cucks of course got too cocky not realizing the only reason their pcs were so fluid was because consoles kept the chips low with low specs. Now they have to upgrade every 2 years like iphone buying normalfags.
>>730812793my MB lasted ten years and even then it was the PSU that killed itt. i7 4790 midwit king
>>730813586Yeah and then there will be a convenient error that causes the bank to get out of jail free while fucking over everyone else, just like all of those single copy paper documents that went up in early September some time agofraud is no way to conduct yourself daily, IT is already 90% nonjob so doing it for a bank must feel like shit if you're human
>>730812793>your motherboard wont last 5 yearswhat? Are you eating it or something?
>>730812793Seven years and counting. Now move those goalposts boy.
>>730815827The middle one's from the United States.
>>730827740How big do tabs get in chrome and firefox? My eyes were bulging out of my damn head when I saw brave tabs were using 80-100mb of ram each on nothing.
>>730813147>>730813003>5 yearsim still using a ddr3 motherboard right now. I got a ddr4 upgrades coming this month. I have been using this one for 13 years. Only upgrading now because nightreign runs poorly and for the first time every i have not met minimum system requirements with a game i want to play last year and my pc couldnt handle it at all, most high end games i could at least play on low settings for 30-60 fps if i had to, up until this point.I dont see any point in upgrading every 5 years unless you absolutely need to play the latest game on max settings with 120+ fps
>>730812650If you do video editing/3d/modeling/Photoshop then yes it's more than enough. It's also good for like 50 web browser tabs.>>730812793I'm on a 10 year old mobo using 32GB of DDR3.
>ssds jumped in price literally nowits over, I managed to buy a 1TB one for the old price and thats it
>>730813262>My job is receiving broken motherboards>You won't believe how many broken mother boards I've seen so that means motherboards are faultyRetard.
Doomposting got me to finally upgrade my SSD, RAM, and GPU. Therefore doomposting is a good thing.
>>730836701I got a 2tb for the old price early dec
>>73081603196GB is fucking over kill. 64GB is really over the top, and I've been on 32GB for years. The only thing slowing down my PC is that I insist on still using HDD for storage and it's just a 4 second start up delay when opening explorer for the first time.
>priced out of gold and silver>priced out of PC partsWhat should I invest with my liquid? I think those preppers had a point afterall.
>>730837059FoodWaterMedical suppliesGuns
>>730822754>>730822386I don't know why this is shocking to anyone. Most people do not have a giga retard PC because the cost and power are not necessary for ANY game. Like you need a PS5 to play the latest slop, but your old PC can probably still play the latest slop. Graphics settings and configs are a reason why PCs are multigenerational.
>>730827740>To run the official Discord client well, you need a 9800X 3D and 32GB DDR5 ram at minimumOr you can just open it in a browser without installing Chinese spyware.

>>730812824It's amazing how many retards genuinely think this will happen for any amount of time before crashing due to the insufficient tech and resources that wont be seen for the next half century. You'll get android gfs before that becomes the main form of gaming globally.

>>730837553A little over a decade ago I was went to a customer site where they had replaced all of their shit with thin clients. Pretty much everything was constantly broken and it was clearly a mistake. They fired their CTO not too long after that.

>>730837942Return it and buy another.
>>730841154I did return it but I didn't trust Amazon to give me a good one after that so I think I'll just buy the same mobo from best buy or something so I can at least be sure it's actually new.
>>730840208The amount of copper that people just started throwing out for no reason when they used to scrape for every little bit is quite staggering
