Is that weird? I built my pc somewhere 5-10 years ago and it's still going strong so why would I pay for anything new? My loading times are not the slowest of my friends when playing multiplayer games, and singleplayer games I play on my deck mostly anyway.

Well, guess I am not in that 60%.
But then again, I don't need new RAM for it. Everything other than the motherboard is already there and I can use an old ATI Radeon for the display.
