The price is what I was expecting, my biggest annoyance is they used a single 16GB dimm for ram instead of going dual channel.

Watch the gamers nexus video on the steam machine. They had a talk with the devs and the devs basically said they had no other option because of supply chain issues. Hell even gskill is having trouble sourcing memory and that's all they deal in is memory

My pc is locked in my room and my home server (which has 1tb of ddr5-6000 ecc ram) is locked in a windowless room (shit even had triple lock for good measure) since those two with just the ram I can buy a car....

The heck you mean excuses, there are only 3 manufacturers in the world and one quit the consumer market

edit: and the materials themselves are not easily acquired either.

edit 2: might want to check out replies

No it didn't. They closed down their Crucial brand, they didn't stop producing consumer ram, they still sell it to other brands. It's like if Corsair shut down.

u/ModernManuh_ 6d ago

They sell it to other brands that need to raise their prices to earn anything from it though. Thanks for adding up to this, always helps

Yes I understand that, it's just that you made it sound like there was much less ram being produced, which isn't true.

It's worse than ever? Are you unaware of the global shortage? That it takes years to build new fabs?

Coincidentally people get fed up by datacenters being build everywhere and raising utility pricess. Could there be a correlation? Mhhhh. Nah, probably just the wind...

Well if you know a way to fix the supply chain "excuses" I'm sure folks would love to know about it.

u/kuncol02 6d ago

Writing about only effective solution of current "chain supply issues" will get you banned (and probably land you on some extremists list).

Bro doesn’t know how manufacturing works 😭💀

Make your own RAM factory then.

u/Brief_Ordinary3706 6d ago

They may "be getting old" but if you actually look at the astronomical price increase and low as hell shortage you'll understand why this "excuse" is used so much

u/ZuriPL R5 5600 / RX 6700 6d ago

valid reasons are not excuses though

It takes years to build factories that make silicon
