    Double the ram that YOU realistically need but maybe not of the RAM that they need… perhaps they do more than just gaming?

      What could they possibly do that needs that much RAM that does not provide an income.

      64 GB is more than just a bit of extra memory. 32 is enough even if you are running docker containers.

      Just buying RAM for the sake of it and then complaining about lack of affordability is not a helpful thing. Yes RAM was cheap so people did that. But you can just not do that and be mostly fine.

        I personally use like 40gb of ram opening up city skylines and rimworld before I started compressing textures. VMs, video editing, 3d modeling are all ram demons and are all hobbies people have.

        There are plenty of workloads that need 64 to 128 gb of ram.
