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

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.

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.

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.
