“I’ve been saving for months to get the Corsair Dominator 64GB CL30 kit,” one beleagured PC builder wrote on Reddit. “It was about $280 when I looked,” said u/RaidriarT, “Fast forward today on PCPartPicker, they want $547 for the same kit? A nearly 100% increase in a couple months?”

    You can tell just by the fan noise or monitoring cpu usage. Win 11 uses more cpu regularly.

    I’m not sure if it’s bad, because they changed other things too like the start menu, and it’s less responsive.

    Single app performance is about the same as 10.

      The city is buying me like 15 grand in new software licenses this year, but I can’t convince them to spend another 2 grand on a new fucking computer because mine is “supposed” to be good for 2 more years.
