It might get worse? That is just the low speed one. And I’m not even sure if these are shipping out new.
Damn thats crazy. I’ll just keep sipping on my DDR4 which isn’t stupidly overpriced and still able to play the games I buy.
I bought 96GB of DDR5-6000 CL30 in september 2024 to use in my workstation 😅 I’m glad I did.
Damn son!
You should know that this is the going rate for a 512kb official expansion module for an Amiga A500 in the UK.
Only Amiga makes it possible!
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.
GB? And I feel it will get more high.
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.
Why should I know that?
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
I felt the pressure of only running 16GB and after one of the RAM sticks died, I wanted to upgrade. Because of a promotion, I had the choice to either run 32GB or 64GB for about the same price. Compared to today, I paid a laughable price for that RAM back then (IIRC a little bit more then 100 bucks for 4x16GB). I rarely use more than 50% of the RAM, but hey, who am I to complain?
Side effect: My old RAM always failed, when I tried to activate DOCP/XMP so this upgrade gave me another performance boost back then.
64gb today is a sweet spot… Maybe only CPU bound AI inference might need more.
I run Gentoo and even compile everything on a ram disk…
Absolutely nuts.
Does rite aid have any RAM?
Does Walgreens have RAM?
What about the price of RAM at coles or woolies though?
Why should I know that? I’ve got basically all the ram I need atm.
Just pointing out how expensive they still are.
Let’s only post when it is decreasing price. This is just depressing to see.
I will post then too, lol. Well, hopefully.
