Comeback nothing, I stacked everything with DDR4 when 5 stated getting popular because it was so crazy cheap.
Oh God I need to buy my ddr2 before you all start swarming for the new old stock.
My newest Proxmox node in my homelab is a ThinkPad T540p, 4th Gen i5 😂🫣 DDR3 is not dead yet, and to be fair with the f-ed up pricing, it makes even more sense
Their solution? A return to last-gen DDR4 RAM
I mean, DDR3 was still good enough in 2020…
?Decade-old RAM | DDR4 has returned.
Wait… no…
sudo lshw -class memory*-bank:0 description: DIMM DDR3 1866 MHz (0.5 ns)NOOOOOOOO!!!
DDR4 may be a decade old, but DDR5 is half a decade old.
I only built my am4 system at the end of 2022, it’s new, not old :P
The way things are going it may end up with some of my sodimm in it by 2030
Jokes on you, I just bought parts for a new AM4 system yesterday. :) Though, to be fair, it’s just the CPU and motherboard. Using old memory.
- 5700x cpu $339aud (on sale from $489), now $310 on sale
- x570s gigabyte aorus master mobo $411aud (on sale from $522), now rare as hens teeth, on newegg for $700, on ebay for $900+
- ram 2x16 3200 $152aud, now 3 castles, both legs, and a pristine fully sealed snes.
mobo was a weird buy anyway though, but does make me wonder what the options and prices are like now for am4 systems. Maybe they will start releasing new boards, or rerelease old ones…
You paid more for your motherboard than your CPU? Why?
