So, how much RAM does it take? You let that bit out.
- vbezhenar 4y agoIf they spend money for NVMe SSD, 38" display and 2 Gbps fiber. My bet is 128GB.
- shortstuffsushi 4y agoCould you explain why any of the things he says make you think a number that high? I'm just finishing building my first PC ever (I've used computers for ... 20 years? But never actually built one). And I have a 1TB NVMe SSD from Western Digital, it was about 60 bucks. I have a 35" BenQ monitor from work, I think it was around $600 at the time of purchase. I don't have fiber at my home, but from what I understand, it's not prohibitively expensive in general. Anyway - I went with 16gb RAM. That felt like a reasonable starting point considering my current and prior daily driver were there as well. My build (minus admittedly expensive monitor) was, to me compared to the Macbooks I usually have for work, a fairly modest $1250 or so. So, roughly the same specs - seems like nothing too crazy?
- flask_manager 4y agoLikely the fiber setting expectations, 2gbps is the "premium" tier in many places, where the monthly difference between fast and the top speed is about the same as 32gb of ram.
- colinsane 4y agoi’ll bet they went for less than max RAM capacity, even if they could afford it: - most motherboards reduce the DDR clock when using > 2 sticks. - higher capacity RAM sticks use more “ranks” (AKA “banks”), which increases latency. as of 2 years ago, 2x single rank DDR would limit you to 64GB. but 2 years is a long time in computerland: 64GB single rank sticks sound plausible.
