also found using DDR3 32 + AM3 Athlon + AM3 mobo whole case + psu = same buying DDR4 32GB ram only
shit is getting crazy by the day - they looking for service rentals than owning pc
like RENT vs OWN real estate thing - CLOUD big tech rope you in monthly cost than allow you build ur hardware,
key is pay attention what n why u want to build - play games - doing wordpad or browsing only or running AIworkload or what
Looks like a good time to start peeling ram out of my old machines!
The claim that "theyâre looking for service rentals over owning PCs" oversimplifies a nuanced trend. While rental services like NZXTâs exist, evidence suggests they often prioritize corporate profit over consumer benefit. For instance, users report paying indefinitely without ownership, akin to "renting a house and never buying it"âa model criticized as predatory. Financially, renting frequently lacks long-term value; one Reddit user noted financing (which leads to ownership) is often cheaper than perpetual rentals. Additionally, scams and misleading termsâlike NZXTâs disputed "rent-to-own" claimsâhighlight risks. Critics argue this mirrors cloud servicesâ "monthly cost" trap, but hardware ownership still offers control and resale value. The shift isnât universal; many prioritize upfront investment for lasting assets.
