Computer specs for compilation times? (programming.dev)

My computer is slow at compiling, esp. LLVM. If I were to buy a new computer, what components would I focus on to improve this?

how do you know this stuff?!

hmmm, perhaps 2x32GB is overkill ...

i'm getting a 6000/28CL

2x32 is good and fairly cheap. get a mobo with 4 slots and you can add another 2x32 if needed.

DDR5-6000/CL28 should be fine. Make sure to enable the XMP/EXPO profile in your BIOS after installing it.

You can follow hardware reviewers like GamersNexus, LTT, HardwareUnboxed, etc if you want to stay up to date (which is what I do), or look at their content if you just want a review for a product you're looking at.
