I have seen tons of storage sales, but has anyone seen any sales for RAM for the FW 16 this weekend?

There was a good deal on 32GB of Crucial RAM ($65-$72 depending on store) but it was sold out everywhere by Sunday. The only other deals I've seen are at NewEgg, which has some discounts on the G-Skill 64GB kits (CL40 for $175 and CL46 for around $163). Otherwise all the decent RAM discounts have been for configurations other than DDR5 5600Mhz.

Is 5200Mhz that much worse?

There are potential compatibility/stability issues with anything less than 5600.

Oh, interesting! Is that a mobo design or CPU limitation?

the Ryzen 7040 Series platform

Sounds like the CPU, though it may just be the first generation chipsets.
