Just buy Mac Studio for this they are like $10k and you. get 512gb of ram.

I had some Chinese ddr3 and ddr4 that I got for years. They still work. Used to order the ddr4 sticks in batch from Aliexpress, it was 10-15 euros for a single 8 gig stick. Now?

However because I live 10 mins from a Microcenter and own 2 homes, several computers and 5 cars, I still want more.

It is a fact. They bought the wafers even before they got turned into ram. So you have less (or none) wafer that is going to be turned into CONSUMER ram. Which means stock will shrivel, prices will continue to increase, and it won't get any better before it gets Hella worse and the bubble pops

>what do (You) """need""" RAM for?
every single chip needs ram you fucking retard.
I work in embedded, every fucking hardware has already seen over 50% price hikes and it's not stopping anytime soon.
nxp, advantech, toradex, utimaco, thales, whatever else, from esp32 to HSM, every fucking hardware, it does not matter if you need 1KB of sram or 4TB of RDIMM, it's the same fucking shit.

you ahve to realize that ABSOLUTE EVERYTHING WITH A CHIP IN IT WILL COST 30-50% MORE, this is hard fact, I don't give a fuck if you don't believe me, numbers don't lie and if it last until 2031 then it means going backward as a civilization on every single metric, RMI machines, cars, smart anything, networking, watches, lights in the fucking street, everything.

meanwhile gen AI and chatbot are beyond worthless and a net negative for humanity, what a waste of a fucking decade with flu-19, crypto and now this fake AI bullshit. fuck them all, ted was right and I'll stop my message here as 4chan is pozzed too these days.

>>107870626
Upgraded before this, now it's triple what I paid a year ago on the same ram model.
>>
>>107870641
they won't. ram right now on ali is on-par or more expensive with ram i can buy here, and with them knowing the stable price which people will buy it at they won't stray too far from it in order to both undercut and profit
>>
Usecase for RAM? Other than playimg gaymes or running ai. 16gb is enough for you
>>
>>107871154
Liar liar pants on fire, I actually work in embedded and we buy esp32s and stm32s in bulk from china, prices didnt change. I dont think they use the same ram of which there is deficit of

>>107870640
what if the ram i already have dies?
>>
The MSM story right now is that all this ram is going to future AI serverparks that still need to be build.
But in reality it's the rich and powerfull buying up all the ram for future cloud servers that all the retards will start using because PC's and laptops become too expensive.

People seriously thought that the AI bubble would just pop next week and prices would fall 50% overnight? Lol no.
The datacenters aren't even built yet, but they're commissioning them more and more and they will all have to be filled with hardware.
No they won't suddenly cancel them either. AI is here to stay bubble or no bubble and the production of semiconductors simply has to ramp up to match the demand.
This is why you need to build the strongest system right the fuck now or you'll get seriously screwed by the market.
There's no waiting this out unless your time frame is closer to 10 years.
