So you mean to tell me they had the technology the whole time to make upgraded modular chips and sell them for pre-existing computer architecture but chose not to because they knew people would pay for the shiny new toys.

There's a chip crisis and SUDDENLY!!!!!! We're all able to use new technologies on old computer architectures.......

Call it supply and demand but I think that's fucked up nm which way you look at it.

I read that and then immediately thought to myself, so they just chose not to release upgrades for old architectures and speed released a shit load of new hardware they knew people would pay OTA for.

This whole time they could've actually been making old computers better than they are and make it so the consumer didn't have to spend a fuck load on upgrades but waited till a chip shortage to do it.....

meanwhile, gamers nexus released a video about ddr3 systems.

considering ddr4 has triple the production volume than 3/5 right now, it feels like the safer choice.

I better get around to formatting my old PC and selling it. The 128gb DDR4 3600 kit in it should net me a fair bit of coin, as would the brand-new 5950x that came from a RMA. I want to pay off the debt I accumulated from building my new machine.

That would let me scrimp and save up some coin for the AI bubble popping. In the long run, I want to replace my RTX 4090 and x2 3060s with x4 RTX Pros.

You like repeating yourself or did you just forget to delete the first draft?
