@Fishmanic : I just checked ddr5 32 GB (2-16 GB) on Newegg.com and the range of prices is off the wall.. I saw prices ranging from $240.00 to $625.00. Sure there are sticks that are better than others and the higher prices included RGB but that seems to be too much of a range and I wonder if this is being manipulated.
I don't really get the fad of RGB. I know some want to 'showcase' their desktop system will bells and whistles but I have no need or desire for such. I DO have a somewhat extreme desktop but that is due to the thing being the heart of my entertainment system I want the display but couldn't care less about lights within the case. Shoot, my main sits in a cubby on my entertainment wall and I wouldn't see the lights much anyway. Since I keep my apartment ~70F I don't even run with the side cover on the case to allow for ambient temperature to help cool.

As an aside... Just did another test print with the cheap ink cartridges and all remains fine.

An actual question.
The motherboard I've been looking at has Integrated AMD RDNA™ graphics. I also have an AMD Radeon rx 6700 series xt dedicated card that would go in the new build when it happens.
I run dual monitors; 43 and 55 inch displays... hey, I sit on my couch, 8-9 feet from the displays, with a wireless mouse/keyboard. The 43 inch display is the normal computer display but the card is also attached to my 55 inch display used almost exclusively for streaming and my local media library.
The issue is OLD games I like from the 2000/xp era. If I'm streaming a ball game or whatever on the 55 inch, and opening one of these old games on the 43 inch it will often, but not always, affect the display on the stream on the 55 inch throwing the display on the stream half off of the 55 inch display. I can always get around this by fiddling a bit but it is irritating, NOT a major issue. I assume this is a resolution conflict between the monitors. I KNOW that my Radeon 6700 series doe's not really like my 43 inch Samsung display. It is totally fine once in Windows but the post screen and the Win load screen are distorted like it is vertically scrunched down making the Windows circle an oval horizontally.
Within a year I expect to do a new build. The mother board I currently want has onboard AMD RDNA video. What I wonder is if using both the onboard RDN video, attached to the 55 inch for streaming, and the Radeon 6700 card going to the 43 inch for a work station, if this could solve the irritation with my OLD games. I'm thinking hat using a separate video source for each display could avoid the apparent resolution mismatch between the two displays as it would seeem, on the surface
I’m pretty much at the best CPU possible for AM4 5000 series and can’t upgrade to AM5 without a semi rebuild of Mobo, CPU and RAM.
The collab between Lian Li and DAN Cases is a great one in this market. Now all I need to get is a Mobo, CPU and RAM for an AM5 system upgrade. Though the majority of those purchases will come in 2027. I also got my Digital 1TB Series X and have been trialling out GTA Vice City DE on that. Very impressed with the console.
