I went 2 to 4, and honestly my 5800x w 32GB DDR4 @3800 from 2020 is still just fine, hopefully till this shitshow shakes out.
Yeah I'm on a 5700 or something with 64 GB of DDR4 and I don't see any issues with it yet. I went that route because I could keep my mobo and it was also way cheaper than DDR5 back then. I figured I'd rather have more older RAM than a full system upgrade.
Is RAM already at a price that it's worth considering selling one of those sticks? :3
