Debate over whether idle PC memory should move to datacenters

Original: RAM wasted on users PCs.. should be concentrated on datacenters

A discussion argues that most of the world's scarce DRAM supply sits inside personal computers, where it is used only a small fraction of the time, and that centralizing this memory in datacenters would raise utilization during a global supply shortage. Participants are weighing whether home PCs holding largely idle memory is a poor allocation of a constrained resource.

Why now: DRAM is in short supply, prompting debate about how memory capacity should be allocated globally.
