@rosey That's not really just because of the ram shortage, that's because DDR5 performs terribly if you populate all four slots, and the motherboard manufacturers insist on putting four slots on all their motherboards anyway

@rosey wait, is this like an actual fraud thing or are they really explicitly, openly giving you one stick of X gigs when you order X gigs plus a decoy instead of two 0.5X gig sticks?

@rosey buy two of them, throw away the DDR5s. Now buy a 1GB HDD. Don't bother with Nvidia or AMD, just use integrated graphics. Now cut your ethernet cord. Finally...peace at last
