lol i remember when you'd get called an idiot for installing 16 gb ram

I remember being asked what I needed 64 MB of RAM for. My answer, of course, being "because I can."

My server has around 156GB RAM.

Do I use most of it? Nah.

Why then?

Cuz it was free from work and I wanted to hit the amount from Weird Al’s “it’s all about the Pentiums”

I don’t remember anything about 156GB RAM in that song…

I got me a hundred gigabytes of RAM

I never feed trolls and I don't read spam

Ah, gotcha. Well I guess I’ll just settle for 128GB then.

after years of dealing with emm386 trying to get ultima 7 to run on DOS, i always bought all the ram i could afford. fuck all that "you don't need that much" bullshit

Can’t have too much, but you can have not enough.
