Hey didn't they drop the 512 Gb model?

You may want to hold on to your M3 Ultra! There's no guarantee there will be a M5 Ultra with 512 Gb ram.

I don’t actually use the memory anywhere near as much as I thought I would. 256GB would be fine for me :)

    Heh, my main "heavy stuff" desktop only has 64GB.

    But it feels really good to have more ram than you can think of a use for.

    I have a faint memory of an interview ages ago with Knuth I think where he mentioned as an aside he was using a workstation with 3.2 Gb of storage and 4 Gb of ram :)

      Around the year 2001 I recall watching 3d studio Max R3 tutorials in which the teacher had an electric purple desktop which possessed an entire 4 gigs of ram. It blew my mind. My computer had 128mb and an ATI Rage 128 Pro.

      I was young and dumb and never would have guessed I'd own a computer with 32gb of RAM that felt pitifully underpowered for today's tasks.
