I just bought the last affordable-ish RAM in the world, purely out of FOMO.

@Gina just go get a bee-link MiniPC they are pretty powerful pcs and you can upgrade when need be.

@superuserdo they're cute, but I like being able to upgrade components.

@Gina totally understand!!! Have any leads on a GPU yet?

[gina@fosstodon.org]

@superuserdo I was thinking a Radeon RX 9070 xt because AMD works better with Bazzite than Nvidia.

Also so that I can play Rollercoaster Tycoon in 4k lol.

@Gina lol you’re too funny 😂!!! How much is that going to set you back lol 😂

[gina@fosstodon.org]

@superuserdo I don't want to know 🥲

@Gina no need for apology; I did a similar thing and had to also buy a CPU to get the good price

(and that RAM actually came in handy the other day when my VM server started crashing every 2 hours! ;o)

@Gina
The GPU prices are down a fair bit now, aren't they?

[gina@fosstodon.org]

@jannem WHERE

[jannem@fosstodon.org]

@Gina
I'm looking at prices and the same RX9070 that I paid 115k for last February is now down to 95k or so.

Which is pretty much the stated launch price when they first showed up.

Edit: BTW, do consider a non-XT model. The performance difference is much smaller than power consumption and price.
