It might get worse? That is just the low speed one. And I’m not even sure if these are shipping out new.

    You should know that this is the going rate for a 512kb official expansion module for an Amiga A500 in the UK.

    Well since we are sharing the lowest national prices of DDR5 memory, that is of limited use to anyone outside the country, this is what the Swedish price comparator Prisjakt lists as the the cheapest:

    I once bought 16MB of RAM for my private machine for the equivalent of about 1200 us dollars. This machine had then more RAM than all the servers in the company I worked for together…

      I can remember buying a 380mb hard drive for about £400. Never did manage to fill it up either.

        Pretty sure he meant MB.

        Back in the day computer parts were super expensive.

        I once bought 4MB of memory for around $300, which would be around $900 dollar in today’s money. Before it became a mass-consumer product and economies of scale kicked in, having your own computer was a huge investment. It was more of a business thing back then, with prices higher than today still.

    No idea. I got my 64gb ram at very reasonable price a few years ago (4x16gb ddr4) and I am pretty happy that way.

    It seems I cannot fill it really with anything I do so I guess that will be enough for plenty of time
