I may limit myself from buying one as well.

Just give me DDR4 then.

[–] Cort@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Sorry. New processors only use ddr5. You'll have to buy something used (or low end old-stock) if you want ddr4

[–] angstylittlecatboy@reddthat.com 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I just did a new build with DDR4 because I was panicked about rising costs, and I don't think the Ryzen 7 5800X counts as low end, or at least it didn't when it was new. You're probably right about it being old stock though, and none of this is relevant to laptops.

I just wish AMD would bring another x3d chip into production for am4

and cant we just put fucking ddr4 or ddr3 on it? why does it got to be bleeding edge all the time?

Hasn’t Dell had a bit of a rough patch with they’re laptops lately?

It would seem like absorbing this RAM shit storm would help out their image right now.

dell's been going down the crapper for at least a decade..... ever since dell and the vultures took it private ~ 2013.

I have an XPS 13 9310 OLED that's been pretty great so I personally don't have issues with Dell. IMHO Dell also makes pretty good panels my U3023E has been color accurate and a dependable hub for all my computers.

Lol, forget a browser, is that even enough to run Windows 11 well?

(In before jokes about windows 11 ever running "well")
