      DDR4-era is plenty good enough for anything I’ll use it for, and if not I’ll use two. 🤷

          I’ve been collecting so I have some, not enough to rebuild from zero though.

          If I have to I’ll downshift to DDR3-era, I still have a lot of that. It’s not ideal but it’s mostly serviceable with expectations appropriately set.

          Edit: it kinda looks like you could downshift also, as long as you had a video card (and software set up right) that could understand newer video codecs.
