My current gaming setup is an R7 2700x with 32GB RAM, 3000GBPS DDR4, RTX2070, MSI B550M Tomahawk. Since I've been working from home, I've often hit my memory limits, usually around 28-30GB used at full load. I'm thinking about upgrading to a 64GB module at 3600 MHz, but originally I planned to upgrade to the 6000-series R7 or R9 when they come out. I don't want to spend around £400 on a 64GB RAM just in case it becomes outdated with DDR5.

It's highly probable that both Intel and AMD will transition to DDR5 on their upcoming systems. If you're observing 28-30GB usage, it's likely exceeding the 32GB capacity, and Windows is efficiently handling memory resources. You'll probably start noticing the improvement. The initial DDR5 versions will come at a higher price. I tend to skip the first generation of new platforms due to cost concerns and potential early issues. Both upgrading now and waiting are viable choices; if your PC remains solid, waiting seems optimal.

I understood Intel's move, which is why I thought AMD could follow suit. The cost isn't too high because my work cleared my path to expense. Since I'm using my own PC for tasks, I saw from my colleague that it has 128GB RAM, but it caps around 48GB when doing the same job. So I decided to upgrade to 64GB at this time and see how it goes.

Based on the information available, the system uses DDR5 memory, though some boards may also support DDR4.

It seems the time for those LGA 775 boards such as p5qc that work with both DDR2 and DDR3 are returning. If DDR5 offers faster speeds and the Ryzen 6000 can handle Infinity Fabric above 2200MHz, it could be worthwhile—though the gain might only be minor.

I believe I should hold off and reconsider grading it at the 5000-series level. The 5950x is now back in stock, while the 6000-series will arrive later.
