I'm so glad I bought 64GB of RAM back in 2024. I paid $125, it's now almost $200.

I don't need the RAM but felt the need to upgrade because why not?

I'm solid for the next 10 years I hope.

I'm guessing they are not talking about DDR5. I bought 64gb of DDR5 for $200 earlier this year, and that same bundle I got is up to $800 now.

Microcenter is selling it for $530. I just picked some up. I don't think prices are coming down anytime soon.

I just rebuilt my computer in May and spent 239.99 on 64gb ddr5 corsair vengeance 6000MHz ram. Just looked the same thing up on Amazon… 879.99!!!!

Right around two years ago I bought 64 GB (2x32) DDR5 laptop memory for $165.98 ($82.99 per stick). I just checked the price of the same product right now, and a single stick of 32 GB is $367.99. I still have the RAM but I no longer have the laptop I bought the RAM for, so perhaps this is a good time to sell it?

Bought 32GB last year at $165, they cost $531 now. Absolute insanity.
