The first "proper" "modern" computer I had, initially came with 8 megabytes of RAM.

It's not a lot, but it's enough for a dumb terminal.

That's not disproving OP's comment; OpenAI is, in my opinion, making it untenable for a regular Joe to build a PC capable of running local LLM model. It's an attack on all our wallets.

		Why do you need a LLM running locally so much that's the inflated RAM prices are an attack on your wallet? One can always opt not to play this losing game. I remember when the crypto miners rented a plane to deliver their precious GPUs.
