The RAM I got for my wife's new computer has gone from the $399AUD I paid for it to $1399 :D

Considering a "you might not need your extra memory anymore, wife LOL" :D

Nah, she had a i5-10500 (non K!) and 64 gb of DDR4. Now she has a 9800X3D and 64GB of DDR5! Her (formerly mine) 3080 isn't bottlenecked anymore!

That amount of memory for games is overkill. 32GB is still quite comfortably OK for most situations. All that matters is frequency and the 3D CPU.

I bought a server with 1TB of RAM for about $1k a little over a year ago. I can sell just the ram for a nice profit now.

Yeap... DDR4 big DIMMS are especially very much 3 to 4x in price.

Fired? Why?

No... Fooled

Because of how we are being monopolised by giants.
