Are you from the future?

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make.

In the middle of last year, a 9900X was around $350 and 128GB of memory was also around $350. That's very easily "commodity" range.

Damn. I feel old and must've missed that boat. Several other boats too, I guess.

Here I was thinking 16GiB is pretty good. I get to compile LibreOffice in an afternoon. QtWebEngine overnight.

Doesn't 128GiB make rowhammer much more feasible? You'd have 32GiB per DIMM.

Oh well

[Dylan16807]

Two 64GiB DIMMs would be the more likely setup. The current CPUs strongly prefer having only one stick of DDR5 per channel.

The effectiveness of rowhammer depends on how well the manufacturer implemented target row refresh. But the internal ECC on DDR5 should help defend against it somewhat.

Personally I've been in the 24-32GiB range since 2013, and that's despite the fact that I'm still on DDR3.
