Glad to see DDR5 heading for more mainstream pricing. When I built a new machine to replace my well aged 4th gen, I was pleasantly surprised the 12th gen Intels supported both, so I’ve used nice high capacity DDR4 while prices come down, and in a year or two I’ll look at upgrading the motherboard and RAM to DDR5 and throw the older stuff into the NAS.
- hencoappel 4y agoThe cost of a new mobo and RAM can't be worth it for the minimal improvements surely?
- gsnedders 4y agoIt's very much workload dependent: https://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/2894?vs=2892 https://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/2894?vs=2892
- danuker 4y agoDepends what you do with it. If you run VM servers, it might be well worth it.
- leaflets2 4y agoPersonally I'm looking for 64 GB for a work laptop, lots of VMs yes So frustrating that max installable RAM usually isn't listed in the specs
- sjcoles 4y ago11th Gen+ Intel all support 64gb+ of RAM. If the laptop mobo supports 32gb dimms is another question all together.
- Out_of_Characte 4y agoThats because maximum capacity is determined by the CPU and the amount of slots available. Just like a phone I bought years ago only listed a maximum micro-sd capacity of 32GiB even though the right formatting would allow 64 or 128. albeit being 'more wastefull' as the adress space didn't increase.
- PebblesHD 4y agoYep, used for development work so many VMs and such.
