Anybody got any high RAM usage use cases they can recommend for me?
I got 96GB RAM for cheap before all prices skyrocketed and obviously I won't try and switch to a 64GB while prices are messed up

Currently thinking about trying a 48GB RAMDisk
GPU has 24GB too so I have been wondering what use cases I can use it for

Any suggestions?

Won a lucky auction in the summer and it had 96GB (2x48GB) of DDR5 in it, i wanted more than 32GB but 96GB felt like too much, was going to sell it/trade in & buy 48 or 64 but I let it sit for a while, only installed it a coiple weeks ago

Crazy to think I got that ram for ~120 bucks or something
& now I can sell it for half a month's rent

Got a 4TB HDD for cheap storage of 4K Movies, first time using a HDD in ~4/5 years
Downloaded some software to it while I was downloading movies, the exe would not launch even after I left it for like 10 minutes. Computer wasn't locked up but the HDD was getting stressed off a measly 5MB/s torrent running on it

Paused the downloads, moved the film to my internal drive and it launches instantly

HDD's are WOAT, but it will be good for movie storage. Still kicking myself for missing out on Plex Pass when it was priced reasonably

I usually aiming to only write any given file once, for longevity's sake
Moving for space can change that &... game & ableton updates
Minimise the writes that make sense and let the others go wild

Currently got 3TB internal, 1tb 2230 in a mini enclosure, a 2TB ext ssd non m.2 unopened, another 2tb ext non m.2, 4tb MLC SATA in an enclosure, 256GB 2280 in a cheap enclosure, 1tb MLC nvme in a TB4 enclosure, 4tb hdd,

S/o to my MLC SSDs
Goddamn, i have gone waaaaay overboard with the storage purchases 13tb of SSD + 4TB of HDD, Plex please reduce the price of the pass
But i do have TBs of Ableton projects, mixdowns, masters i guess

Around the time i got really into musicmaking, Questlove posted a picture of like 10 of these and said they had new The Roots music on them, it weirdly inspired me and also made me think about the sheer amount of work and 10s to 100s of GB of files that eventually ends up as a 120MB album on 256kbps AAC M4A

2026 finna be so fun

Picked up microcenter 9850x3d bundle with ram and Mb for $700

Selling my old parts for $600 ish (5700x3d, 32gb ddr4, and old motherboard and blu ray player)

This upgrade for $100 difference is unreal ngl

Also my gf picked out a new case for me and loving it. Sleek

I don’t really use any RGB and pc is off rn but looking nice

So glad I bought my PC parts in Q1 of last year. Would be $2800 to make my build today.

right I spent $2800 building the fastest gaming PC out

now it costs $4700 just for the RAM and GPU. $6000+ for the whole thing
