Some are, but not all. The point here is building entire towns or entire new city sectors in one fell swoop instead of planning them out and building them in stages so plans can be adjusted as needs inevitably change is a bad idea. It’s things like this that have directly led to the current property market crisis.

Of course if buildings are already there it makes sense to use them, but they might have been able to put something better suited or more economically viable there if they had staggered the construction.

Not even sure why you guys are arguing. All of this can boil down to:

• More RAM is beneficial, especially when it’s shared by the CPU and GPU.
• The biggest bottleneck for most games on the Steam Deck is probably not RAM/VRAM, though.
• Faster memory will probably improve performance more than more memory.
• All of this is entirely dependent on the game or application you’re running.

But the biggest point should be:

• Good fucking luck desoldering and soldering BGA memory chips by hand.
