What to even do? Bite the bullet and pay $200 for DDR5 or wait for DDR6?
>>109402176$200 for what capacity? Gonna assume 16 and instantly say no. If even less than 16 then FUCK no.
>>109402176Protip, stop being poor.
>>109402176ddr6 is apparently a lot better than 5, but it's not going to be any cheaper
>>109402176>china literally announces they're building even more chip printers and are like 16 months ahead of schedule>even apple is screamcrying at the us gov to let them buy cxmt ram>corsair is using cxmt ddr5 modules in their sticks>ai stocks are crashing; thus less money for data centres to blow on memory they don't need especially when open-weight models are so much more efficient memory-wisei know it's a rare gift nowadays but if you could maybe just exert the smallest fucking modicum of willpower and patience you'll be finebut if you're so desperate as to ask /g/ i just know that you're a retard sitting there with money/credit card burning a hole in your pocket that you feel desperate to spend because you're not sure if you will get another chance to do so.so let me get my popcorn; i'm excited to see you screamcry in a couple months.
>>109402219hardware specialists are saying DDR5 prices are never going back to what they wereDDR6 isnt too far off and it's potentially the only threat to DDR5 demand
>>109402176how about keep using DDR4?
>>109402176wait for AM6 + Zen 7 + DDR6 + power supply shortage
>>109402176>pay $200 for 16GB DDR5 now>pay $200 for 4GB DDR6 laterdecisions, decisions
still no usecase for anything above ddr4. no, slopping anime porn is not a use case.
>>109402176DDR6 is going to be even more expensive.
>>109402176Usecase?
>>109402721nigger scientists are saying literally no prices are going back to what they were after Bidenflation and the central bank shitfuckery taxing you directly from the FIAT tp in your pocket, The niggers to anuses ratio is too high. I recommend waiting for WW3 and the DDR7 where we will have Total bureaucrat death and the subsequent deflationary money to buy parts with. Until then go and learn how to make FPV drones and /k/ post
>>109402176buy second hand office machines you dummy
>>109402721>DUDE THE AI BUBBLE IS THE FUTURE>PLEASE BUY 4GB 100X WHAT IT'S WORTHno, I'm not buying anything and you're going bankrupt
>Do I pay $700 now or do I lose a kidney later when they come for motherboards and power supplies, too?Anon, brace yourself...
>>109402176>wait for ddr6>ddr6 drops>turns out, ddr6 actually released 2 years ago but the fuckass ai companies pre-purchased an in-development product>buy anyway for 40 kino>cpu doesn't support it>mfw>buy the new amd 19990x3D2 for 80 kino>literally has no performance increase or any new specs other than ddr6 support>finally play elder scrolls 6>gpu does not meet the minimum requirements>remember nvidia stopped releasing public market cards after the 50 series and amd wants your liver for 16 gb of *Le GDDR8*>start making mailbox bombsi fucking can't man
Ban “should I buy?” threads
>>109402196>fuck me in the ass some more daddy Altman>yes! more! i can take it>do you want me to pay another $200 daddy?>how about $1000?>is that enough for the RAM you let me have, Sam?absolute fucking faggot chode
>>109402176Just get a mac
its falling right now. just wait.
>>109402219Even if OP couldn't hold off, they could just buy used. Compared to what prices are brand new, used RAM can go for reasonable prices, and they also tend to have lifetime warranties.Also that money doesn't go to a soulless hivemind gigacorpo.>>109402823A PSU would be a stupid component to start price gouging with as it doesn't require much in the way of specialized equipment, and it probably would be cheaper to build one yourself, provided you have some understanding of electrical engineering. Just make sure your components are sound.>Then again though, PC price hikes are cooked up by brownoid retards who will just run off to a 3rd world shit hole when their too-big-to-fail™ corpo collapses.
>>109407569^This. At this point, faith literally costs nothing.
>>109407569you're deluded. RAM is going to go up in price every quarter for at least the next 5 years, maybe 10. unless the datacenters crash and the 3 cartel RAM comapnies decide to cut their profits and make RAM for gamers (lolololololol) RAM is going to cost more and more
>>109407695but the korean markets tho... they said....
>>109407695RAM prices have stalled out. They're not going up anytime soon, not least of all with investorfags getting cold feet and the DSCAM kikes getting hit by a lawsuit, which I don't see them brushing off. This isn't 2001, and this time ZOGmerica's demanding a cut of their profits. Those stupid yellow jews blew their own feet off with 00 buckshot (I didn't forget the burgermutts at Micron, but their CEO is a pajeet).
>>109407701They're even more judeophilic than the 'mutts are.No wonder their depression and suicide rates have reached epidemic levels.You can either have a soul (make that Seoul in their case), or you can be a jew.
>>109402176if you look at this image too long it actually gives you brain cancer
>>109407716i am a mutt tho
>>109402176use case? gayming and gooning don't count.
