Incompetence can be found at all ages, and in all professions. My point was that part of the problem is the loss of "institutional memory" caused by preferring young hotshots to older people who have been round the block.
This is not to say that the young hotshots are not, at times, right!
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

With 64GB, I don't feel that even my old i7-4800K is too slow to run multiple VMs simultaneously; rather, I always find myself limited by RAM/disk/network.
With 512GB, I suppose I could then run so many VMs that the CPU would finally start to get too slow to be practical.

I thought when I upgraded my machine to 32GB that I would finally have enough but like you say if you start running VMs they eat it up quick. Plus the more memory you have the more the applications that you run use. (Moore's law or something?)
I've got an older processor but it's still relevant as there hasn't been a lot of progress in that are for some time, except for the number of cores.

There are better processors out there than Intel. Motorola 68000 was one of them. I haven't heard if they came out with a 64 bit processor.

Scientific application. I work with chemists that create 10s of GB sized files, then want to massage it every which say, including graphing and tables. It would be much quicker to keep all that data in memory.

A little odd that they're claiming "7,200Mbps", which is not fast at all (with typical DDR4 sticks hitting 19200MB/s which is over 20 times as much). It makes sense if they meant MT/s (counting transfers, not bits), then it really is over twice typical DDR4 speeds.

or they're talking about per chip speed vs per dimm or maybe mobile vs desktop channel bandwidth (16 vs 64[*] bits wide), I don't trust mass market tech to get anything right.
- 2x32 for a single DDR5 dimm if you're feeling obnoxiously pedantic.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

So - how does this affect the box I'm remoting in from it at this very moment - bulging with 8GB of DDR2 ?

You are just as fast if you keep the rubber bands wound up.
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

Well - it came with a video card for HDMI and plugs right into a 55" 'monitor'. It's doing rather well in its later years - and what would it do if it had more than two cores @3GHz?
For now, it just has to settle with giving orders that are obediently obeyed by a Xeon with 32GB RAM @3.5 GHz. What have you got in your wallet ?

My gaming PC needs a faster RAM.
But more then that, it needs a better GPU

For some reason I'm no good at puzzle games unless they are C++ code.

The first one is easy ... the rest I am totally lost. My wife has a GCHQ puzzle book and we have yet to solve any of them.

I did see the article in today's CodeProject Daily News about the UK's new L50 note. It is good to see one of our own from our industry honored. Too bad that have a picture of that woman (the queen) on the back stealing Alan's thunder. I was ready to get myself one of the new L50 notes as a souvenir.
