About the March 2026 hardware survey, what is "64 bit" and "0 64 bit"? Why do they represent 25% of the linux devices? in c/linux_gaming@lemmy.world

I remember the last time I participated in the survey my Fedora system was summarised simply as "Linux 64bit" or something like that.

Good points. Looking at eBay, the sellers of used DDR4 seem to have caught on to the price increases and are asking for the same unpleasant prices. I guess the best time to buy more RAM was a year ago and the second best time for it is now.

My 5-year-old mainboard only supports DDR4. I'm just looking to increase my RAM and have two free slots available. But even the prices of DDR4 sticks have increased 100%-200% compared to a year ago.

They are more affordable than DDR5 sticks to be sure but still crazy.
