New Build - DDR5?

Clearcut · 8 Sep 2024 at 07:28

Good morning.

I have a question. I'm considering building a new PC. However, I'm not sure about the RAM.

I see PCs being sold as 'High end' yet they have DDR4. They have top end graphics cards and other hardware but the RAM is DDR4.

The question is, would you put DDR4 in new builds? Surely DDR5 would be much faster and the way to go.

Thanks.

I suspect this wouldn't have been a conversation with DDR3 - DDR4.

I have seen DDR5 sold cheaply on MM. This is what made me ask. If I bought these I'd have to do a complete upgrade.

It's like upgrading to Windows Vista then. Better off staying with XP for now.
