Why isn't Trump forcing South Korean fabs to manufacture more ram to shore up the RAM economy. Paying $209 for RAM that used to cost $37 is pretty fucking ridiculous.

Data centers are good for the economy and if they aren't built in US they would juts build them elsewhere (which they are). RAM demand is a global industry and fairly small portion of that is american data center demand and even smaller portion of that is something that the president can control.

Terrible claim. In fact, some people think a lot of the AI stuff is literally just bullshit to prop up the economy. They're giving billions away and they're building datacenters everywhere, and buying up all the ram and gpus w\ effectively "free money". Crying about this is retarded though. There's so much excess computer equipment in the country. DDR5? OK... cool? I guess? You don't need DDR5. If you're upset about the price, adjust your expectations...

Buy a "workstation" that's 5 years old. Put a 5090 in it if you got that extra budget.

Search on ebay : HP Z6 G4-5 just for an example.. you can get a workstation like this thats 5 years old w\ 32-64gb ram for $500ish.. put a newer GPU in and you're set.

trump has everything to do with it since he's in bed with AI faggots and is subsidizing memory makers and AI companies on taxpayers dime while they get doubly fucked by ridiculous price gouging. its not just

its that all 3 big memory makers (samsung, SK hynix, micron) are colluding to keep supply artificially low. that cartel racket needs to be broken up and they need to be fined into the ground for it but they are all butt buddies with trump so it will never happen.

Money doesn't vanish when it's put into a data center. It creates jobs in the local economy and then more jobs trough it's own demands and their production all the while providing something that customers use. You may as well be asking why a washing machine factory is good for the economy.

Tell me what jobs it creats, despite the short gap construction work and the 2-3 It technicans that run it.
data centers have basically no people working there, so they don't generate any synergies like large factories or production plants.

Is there a big difference between 16 and 32gb RAM? Was looking on the market and could barely find any affordable pc's with 32. Some of them had 16 with the possibility to upgrade to 32 but i'm a tech noob so didn't do it.

I talked with manufacturers. Fabs are opening up. They need 6 months for a fab. Once the backlog is served ram could be as cheap as ramen, in theory.
It won’t, of course. But they all said something about October price drop
>>
>>536215199
>data centers have basically no people working there
I don't know why you believe this. Data centers aren't magic. They employ loads of highly paid technicians and maintenance workers directly and employ tons more low skill workers like cleaners, guards and then huge amounts in secondary effects like plumbers and electricians. Again the money doesn't just vanish, it goes to people or people making goods.

The ram in my pc is worth 1,5k € atm. There was a time when that money would get you an entire gaming pc.
>>
>>536215253
Depends on what you do. But i get the feeling you don’t need that much. Many games/programs actually run better if you limit their ram usage. Browsers are a different ballgame but you shouldn’t have a million tabs open anyway. Invest in a big ssd and ask chatgpt how to make a file that emulates ram (i forgot the term).
Per default my 8gb macbook runs smoother than my 64gig machine because of ram management.
>upgradeable
You want to look at ram slots on the motherboard and compaitble ddr generation. With 4 slots of DDR4 or DDR5 you‘ll be fine. It‘s plug and play, easy to install. Watch a tutorial. Its worthwhile. I am a noob as well but a PC is what cars are to boomers. You just need to know some basics, so invest the time.

I don't know what point you are trying to make. "medium" factory is entirely made up category. People looking to build a data center aren't going to start up a shoe manufacturing business. Your options are to get a data center that creates dozens of high paying jobs or not get a data center and get no jobs. The data center will still go up and the people who sell RAMs still get employed
>>
>>536215964
Pretty much just use it for basic stuff like browsing the web, shitposting, streaming videos, music. 20-30 tabs up at the same time. No heavy gaming so 32gb seemed overkill but i wasn't entirely sure.

You missed the boat on cheap hardware and peripherals. Half of the price of a pc is shit you can reuse in future builds if you take of it. Like, a full tower case (not some meme minifaggot shit), power supply, fans, CPU cooler, monitor, mouse, keyboard etc. There are only 4 things you ever need to consider when upgrading after that and it will be a decade if you get decent stuff; cpu, gpu(superfluous if you aren't a faggot gaymur), ram, motherboard.
I actually love that the gaming industry is tanking. Its been shit for over a decade. I couldnt care less that retarded poorfags arent there to prop that corpse up anymore.
>>
>>536216269
Go for 32gigs. 16 needs some minmaxing. 64 is overkill. Or get the lesser one it has empty ram slots and buy ram sticks to get to 32. Whatever is cheaper. But you want 4 ram slots on the motherboard just to be safe.

>>536214396
No faggot. Blame the fact that AI is incredible revolutionary technology that everyone wants to use, but it requires like 100x more computing power than what the industry was used to providing. There is so much amazing stuff you can do now, but it requires terabytes of high-speed memory to work.

The only way to use this stupid gaming hardware is to play shitty games like Cyberpunk and Alan Wake at max settings in 4K.

>>
>>536216568
The kind that's useful and doesn't do stupid shit like that requires a lot of compute so it's not relying on compression and shortcuts that butcher the end result. Go have Claude or Gemini build a complex program that ends up working perfectly in one go and tell me I am wrong. You can try to build it with a smaller model or a distilled or quantized model, but the end result will be a piece of dogshit that doesn't run. It takes the big models to do it right.

Gaming has been shit since far longer than SoiburBunk but I agree with you. Anything worth playing can be done on a potato. Enthusiast shit used to be a combination of pushing hardware to its limits with overclocking and FPS chasing but that died a few generations ago when hardware manufacturers learned to bin their shit correctly to squeeze profits. Overclocking is dead. Games are shit. Whats the point? Lrn to product development and 3d print and building design.

Well, gee, dipshit, just to prove my point to the other guy who claimed these are being sold without memory, "HP Z6 Z4 : xeon gold cpu : 64gb : 1000w psu :$349+50 shipping.

Also apart from this, I genuinely believe that someone will fill the supply gap. I just refuse to believe there's something extra magical about the RAM manufacturing process. I have to believe that people see the huge demand spike, and recognize that there's billions of dollars on the table for consumers who want it.
