Decided to check up on some ram I bought a few years back for around $200-$250 and the current price is hovering around $1300. Insane.
China enters the equation as they are making RAM, but it could take 2 years to build the factories. RAM is needed for other electronics other than computers. Samsung and Apple are going to scale back production of new phones and limited suplly means higher prices.
Actually Samsung and Hynix just announced extensions of their production for DDR4 citing demand. For sure other companies will follow suit to cash in if DDR5 is unobtanium for the next few years.
Luckily it was DDR5 so imagine how glad I am to have gotten that before all this started
Any chance Microsoft will let us extend Windows 10 for yet another year? My Workstation laptop is still running great.

Yeah rightAny chance Microsoft will let us extend Windows 10 for yet another year? My Workstation laptop is still running great.
I wish they wouldBought a 5080 last week after watching the price go down (and hoping it would go down further) and then ratchet back up. Installed it Saturday: DOA. Now I get to wait for the refund and then try again.
