What to do about the sad state of high capacity DDR5 consumer systems?

Let me see if there’s a thread on this too.

7950x: I want 4x32GB unless it sucks, does it suck?

Hi I am planning to build with a 7950x on an asus Pro art X670e. In various places I’ve been hearing that 4 dimms is a lot harder to run. I’m not expecting to overclock 4 dimms. If I buy 4 x 32GB of 5200 ddr5 will I have bad performance to the point where 2x32GB would be a better choice? I know the question will be if I need 128GB then what does…

People there have 192GB up and running. If running into swap, bandwidth is of secondary concern
