I used to LIKE working restaurant, retail and sales. Loved it, really, but it was a very different era back then. I worked those type of jobs from 1986 through 1996 before switching over completely to an IT career and it was a GOOD era to work retail. I saw it go to shit not long after that, even while other jobs were getting better, easier or expanding and paying better. Now.. it's got to be truly horrible.

BUT.. I ended up biting the bullet and just bought a 64GB kit for about $400. I figure it's a rip-off, but it's a FAR cheaper price I'll pay now than into next year and later for a long time (from the looks of it), or maybe not ever find them at all.

This old system that I bought in 2015 has been VERY upgradable and still serves extremely well for playing and working. Even at the $400 price to upgrade RAM, it's cheaper than a new one and works GREAT with Linux!

My main system is an ASUS ROG with an Intel i7-6700HQ and an nVidia GTX970m with 24GB RAM... and for the things *I* do simultaneously in Linux (including browsing with many tabs, many terminals, graphics editing/viewing with LARGE directories full of images, virtual machines occasionally, etc.)... I had increased my laptop's SSD from the original 1TB to 4 TB (and kept a 1TB spinning drive) and really wanted to upgrade the 24GB SODIMM DDR4 from the 3x8GB sticks to 4x16GB. This sucks.
