In 1998, I told people to get at least 64 MB of RAM. I typically recommended the K6-2 HP for about 1,000 and added a memory board.
In 2006, I recommended about 1 GB of RAM.
In 2017, I said RAM didn't matter as long as you got a laptop with an M.2 drive. Most computers had 8 GB, which was more than enough for most non-gamers.
In 2021, I said get 64 GB because AI needs memory.
In 2023, I said get at least a desktop with 128 GB.
In 2026, buy a DGX with 748 GB.
Memory usage is growing exotically.
Memory is cheap and is going to get expensive.
If you don't think memory will get expensive, then tell me why.
I had Kimi make two charts, one log and one linear.
By 2030, $Micron Technology(MU)$ will make more profit than NVDA. Not a joke.
