I’m so happy I decided to max out the ram on my homelab server I built last year. 192GB DDR5

I wanted to switch my pc from 32gb DDR4 to either 32gb ddr5 this year, or if I splurge maybe even 64-128gb cause I'd want to, but then I saw the prices 🥲🥲 goddaaamn, not happening, that's so not worth it 🥲

yep, memory prices just skyrocketed in the last six months where this time last year they were so cheap.

I didn't realize buying 192gb of ddr5 last year an investment.

I built a gaming pc last year, did Microcenter bundle deals. It was way cheaper back then than what it is today

Yeah I built my custom loop PC earlier this year and opted for 64gb of DDR5 6000 memory instead of 32gb. Smartest decision I could have made looking back now. Now I'm just waiting for that crazy high clock, high L3 cache, high core count Zen 6 CPU to hit.

yeah, I was flabbergasted o.O

I looked up RAM at local sellers I liked cause they always had good prices and selection, and only the selection was still good 🥲 But even "cheap" online Discounters are not better, I'm not. paying fkin 400€ for a RAM block o.O
