Ram Apocalypse Going Wild

You dream of those gorgeous RGB-lit Vengeance RAM sticks that'll make your setup look like a cyberpunk nightclub, but reality hits harder than a segfault at deployment. Instead of upgrading your rig, you're upgrading to... downloaded RAM? A browser with 47 tabs open? Nope, you're stuck with the budget option that looks suspiciously like airplane seats. Because apparently RAM prices are now competing with first-class tickets to Tokyo. The tech industry really said "pick your poison: eat ramen for a month or keep using swap memory like it's 1995." At least those airplane seats have more cushioning than your current 4GB setup has headroom.
