Worth noting that you can mod 32 GBs of RAM, and a few people did the mod, finding literally zero performance benefit.

Yeah, I know. If I remember correctly, the Steam Deck uses a pretty standard RAM type.

But the system is well designed and doesn't have any real bottlenecks that aren't game-specific. So the Deck can't even run anything that would benefit from 32 GB of system RAM.
