What you need is a IBM mainframe with 40TBs of ram <- terra and 200+ cpus and a 200gb internet speed.

Well, memory use does get high (multiple portable browser installations, each for its own general use, plus many documents, adds up) but I thank God I can make overall good use of such.


I did try to prayerfully upgrade to 128GB for $103, but since the particular module are no longer available, the ones I bought resulted in some dysfunction. Cost too much for 4 identical modules. Tried to sell what I have but no takers. In my parts list (#4) I choose 64GB (32GBx2) for $103, which most would consider overkill, yet one can easily spend close to that for far less.

No one NEEDS more than 640 K memory anyway!

I thought I might be able to run one of the pre-trained LLMs (think mini-ChatGPT) on my gaming machine with 64 GB RAM as as a side app. Turns out the LLM needs 64 GB VRAM. So I don’t think so.

You can buy an NVidia card that meets specs for about $7500 but it has no display output, so no use for gaming!
