people use desktops with 64GB of ram this days?

I haven't owned a desktop PC in a decade but I seem to recall by brother still got by with 8 GB.

It is interesting how tepid the default specs on desktop machines are. I bought a high spec work station a few months ago and the default spec for the big suppliers were <8gb of RAM and no SSD.

"People" rarely use $1k CPUs either.
