My Haswell 4770k died last year after 13 years in service. I replaced it with a used AMD 5800X with 32GB DDR4 for $100. As soon as I heard about the RAM shortages, I grabbed another 64GB.
Not only am I ready to ride out this bubble, buy I’m fucking around with local LLM models just to be a snot about it.

I think that is about right. I was on my Sandy Bridge system for 9 years and upgraded because I saw working from home happening. No reason I won’t be be fine with my AM4 system for that long. Just did my mid cycle GPU upgrade at the start of the year.
