64gb of ram is very useful for 3d modeling and other hobby arts.

Used to be cheap AF too. Shame

I have 64 GB in my CAD machine, unfortunately or fortunately it doesn't really make use of it like systems used to 15 years ago. Many CAD tools write portions to nvme temp drive folders now and don't fill RAM, that way the companies can claim a lower hardware spec (at least thats my theory on why they no longer max it out)
