I'm trying to decide between two RAM options for my 265k setup: 64GB (2x32GB) at 6400MT/s DDR5 CL32 for $625, or 48GB (2x24GB) at 8000MHz CUDIMM CL38 for $699. I'll primarily use this for productivity, but I'll do a bit of gaming as well. Which one is the better choice?

I would definitely go for the 64GB option. While the 8000MHz speed is impressive, having an extra 16GB of RAM is way more valuable for productivity tasks.
The 8000MHz RAM might require some tweaking to get it stable, and its performance can depend heavily on your motherboard's design. The 6400MT/s is more suited for a build like 265k, and you'll end up paying less for more RAM. If you're focusing on productivity or tasks like creative work or AI, the additional capacity will likely benefit you more than just speed. For gaming, it often doesn't make as much of a difference.
cool, I just heard 265k benefits so much of having high RAM, but if it works correctly then I will take the extra RAM
thanks
