Together with unaffordable RAM.
And unaffordable motherboard with only a few ports.
And unaffordable drives
I just checked and I paid $165 for 64 GB of DDR5 in December of 2024. I doubt I'll ever see those prices again.
I paid $105 CAD ($77 USD) for 32GB of DDR4 (2×16GB) in Feb 2023. The same RAM is now $295 CAD, and the cheapest available 2×16GB DDR4 kit is $265 CAD. It's not even DDR5 and it's 2½× the price over 3 years later.
Insanity.
I should really get around to selling my 4TB M.2 SSD I have for my Windows dual boot that I haven't booted in over a year...
Please don't remind me — I paid $700 for 64GB of DDR5 😭
Ouch. Better than most prices I've seen lately though
Maybe when inflation has gone up?
