RAM shortages have seen prices on DDR5 memory skyrocket, where a 64GB kit of DDR5-6000 now costs $599 after 'price cuts', more expensive than a PS5.

    We’re going to go back to covid times when it was cheaper up buy a computer with the graphics card in it than to buy the graphics card out right, but now with ram.

    I’m getting so burnt out with the blatant corruption and data centers sucking up all the hardware. You know at the end of the day, all these companies are boasting record profits.

      Just wait for them to go belly up, and then buy the used hardware

        Much like RAM, around 90% of Nvidia’s hardware in 2025 is for data centers. Unfortunately it’s mostly specialized hardware that can’t be used in consumer computers.

    My 32 GB of RAM isn’t going to last me until the bubble bursts, is it? God dammit.

      Are you running a hypervisor?

        I had to Google hypervisor before I could answer. No, I’m not running any virtual machines on my computer. It’s pretty much just a media machine: games, movies, music, websites, etc.

      Sorry, but that would require actual R&D and problem solving alongside jargon that your PM didn’t learn in their MBA program.

    Ah crap. Since months I was thinking of adding more RAM. My current 32gb is sufficient and not low at all. But those stuck with 16gb need to wait longer now. The prices will come down, right? Right?
