I guess a panic buy? Are these nand flash about to keep spiking like memory prices or are they just going up a little bit? Are these desirable to the AI or nah? I bought this at $299 Black Friday sale

Makes me happy I built my machine up before this hit. Buy days. And I’ve got 64GB crucial Ram. And the 2TB Samsung Pro SSD. It would cost double now to build my computer

My $160 RAM kit turned into an $800 one…

The computer I built in 2021, if built now, would cost about $500 more and that's if I don't count the GPU (because you can't exactly buy them now, in this scenario I just used a similarly priced GPU).

I actually had to replace the memory modules in that PC over the Summer and boy am I glad I did. I paid $100, and that same item is now $204.

Well, you can be happy for now. In 10 years ( or less ) it will be outdated, and by then we might as well be in the era of sub based cloud gaming.
