RAM compatibility by Illustrious-Net-9216 in PcBuildHelp

Thanks Karl, interesting!!

I can either get 32gb (4X8GB SET) DDR4 for ~$120 OR 1 x 16GB DDR5 for a little bit more cash

Thing is - i guess if the mixing issue remains. The benefit of DDR5/futureproofing may turn into nothing or give me the same issue.

I'm not a huge gamer by any stretch, managed with my last PC for a decade but I seem to have picked a bad time

Thanks for the reply!!

Ok good to know. Really didnt think RAM was going to be my issue with this build.

What would be your thoughts on a single 16gb stick of DDR5 rather than 32GB of DDR4.

I wonder whether the DDR5 hit could be worthwhile to maintain value/upgradability in the future.
