    I had to look it up because I didn’t believe y’all.

    $755 for 64GB DDR5.

    I thought I had DDR5 but I guess it’s just DDR4 according to my motherboard.

    Mother fucker. I could have gotten it for $200 a year ago. I’m at the point where I suggest we start taking ahem excessive action against AI companies.

      In April I bought 2x32 GB sticks of DDR5 for a grand total of $227 at my local microcenter. That same product is $809 today! Outlandish!

        That’s still less than RAM cost early 2000s, and why HP cases for workstations had beefy locks.
