“I’ve been saving for months to get the Corsair Dominator 64GB CL30 kit,” one beleagured PC builder wrote on Reddit. “It was about $280 when I looked,” said u/RaidriarT, “Fast forward today on PCPartPicker, they want $547 for the same kit? A nearly 100% increase in a couple months?”

    Doesn’t Windows 11 in practice require even more memory than Windows 10 to operate with decent performance?

    Meanwhile my Linux gaming PC seems to actually use less memory than back when it was a Windows machine.

      My work laptop was upgraded to Windows 11 and performance has severely suffered.

      As someone who usually uses 3 monitors (sometimes 4) and does GIS, it’s an issue.

      Constant surveillance will do that. Legit “telemetry” wouldn’t be using that much processing power.

      I’m thinking Recall is just Microsoft trying to cut costs on their servers processing all the surveillance, and force users to pay the costs of all the extra electricity and equipment needed.
