A pair of 32 GB ram sticks (DDR5) is almost the same price as a new computer/laptop now, sitting at around $850, when are the prices gonna drop? Now it's almost profitable to buy a brand new PC, just for the ram sticks, cause hey, we get a free RTX 4060 in the box too.

Maybe in 2 years idk I'm not expert

Never. They're going to keep increasing PC part prices until the only thing the public can afford is phones and tablets, and then any sort of computing is going to be done through subscription based cloud/AI.
You will own nothing and be happy.

WOW. Here I am sitting at max slots filled 128 GB. Now you have me thinking of reselling and making a profit. :D

And here is the true cause of this disaster since 2018.

I'm hoping this RAM famine leads to new technology.

AI needs to burn in fire.

When they stop making Data Centers.

Good luck on that. Trillions of dollars being wasted.

The Energy Grid isn't even set in certain states to handle that power usage they already have.

Honestly this is just as foolish as forcing E.V.s on everyone. The charging stations for them should have built long before that was even put into practice.

We have people in charge that aren't forward thinking as I wish they were. That even goes for Donald Trump in certain cases like this.

Yea its totally nothing to due with manufacturing demands in other markets like AI. Its all those dirty 2nd hand ebay sellers ruining it for all.

When the AI bubble bursts. But wages will drop too, due to the crash, so everything balances out in the end again.

Right now is the lowest it’s gonna be.

Seems like video cards are hard to get a hold of too right now. Ive been looking and everything is sold out

Whenever the whole AI thing cools down.

That's insane. I bought 32GB of RAM before the AI explosion and paid $99.

The prices will only drop once the bubble pops.
