My RAM is starting to go on my 10 year old machine. I haven’t cried, but I wouldn’t describe the situation as dry, either.

I had the same thing yesterday - I had bought a 16GB DDR4 stick in the before times for my ThinkPad and now it's been behaving erratically and unpredictable. I'll run a memtest at some point, but it might be going back to its original 8GB for a long time..

DDR4 laptop RAM hasn't been hit quite as hard, a 16GB will set you back about $100-120

I had a squiz, so I had gotten a Samsung 2666MHz DDR4 16GB stick back in early October 2025 and it was AUD52.23

Looks like if I look around hard enough they're about AUD80-90 now, so while that's still a relatively large jump, it's not anything like the desktop memory has been.

I think even so, if my ThinkPad continues to have issues I'll live with the 8GB for now and wait out the price hike.
