Guess I'll keep using my DDR3 machine for a few more years.

    Legit thinking of selling RAM sticks to rich people so that I can pay rent a bit easier lol (not actually loling)

    Hell yeah, another fellow user of DDR3. It'll live forever!

    I don't really see a reason to upgrade, my i5 from 2009 is still running fine. Damn, now that I'm writing it out, that does sound old

    Not really. A lot of regular consumers got priced out of DDR5 so they went back to DDR4 and now it's insanely priced too. Like $150+ for a 2x8GB sticks
