>>539091492>>539091658kys
>>539091492Just get a used desktop HP or Dell with a decent processor. Buy a new Intel graphics card, upgrade the PSU and throw in 32GB of DDR4 RAM. You can install CatchyOS to optimize as much performance out of the machine as you can. Sure, you're paying twice as much as you should for the RAM but who cares. You can play any games that are worth playing now instead of crying about it for 5 years only to have prices climb even higher. You can buy the desktop from a surplus sale check out your local college or university.
Ok but the reason you can't afford the PC is because of the AI GF technology
lol poor poor zoom zooms. no house, no future, now no pc, I'd almost feel bad if they weren't all worthless
The time to buy was last year buddy, when everyone was screeching about how it would only get worse
>>539091492The prices are never coming down. The new prices are the new prices. This isn't like 2004.
>>539091492Fuck this gay earth
>>539091492you should be less concerned about RAM prices and more concerned about which of your neighbors you're going to eat first
>>539091492Anon, you should realize by now, that once prices go up, they never come back down again. Whether it’s houses, tuition, groceries, computer hardware… the price only moves in one direction and that’s UP UP UP!! Gotta keep that line moving UP, baby!!!
>>539093642Apparently not the stock prices though.
>>539093699Micron's 1Y is literally +653% LMAO
Fuck you nigga ram to the moon eat shit nigga
>>539093330>$5 Dell Optiplex at Goodwill>Intel Core 2 Duo>buy 4GB DDR3 for $20>buy 250GB SATA SSD for $30>buy 980Ti for $50>install Windows XP>play every amazing game from the 90s and 2000s for about $100
>>539093776Yes, I'm sure the nearly perfect vertical increase is sustainable. LOLMicron stock crashed 25% in the last month, along with many other tech stocks that were seeing rallies from AI.And it's only going to accelerate now that Apple has announced they are likely to merge, partner, or acquire a new tech company that has successfully used super compression to allow companies to convert massive server sized models into models that can run on phones and PCs with ease.The build out is not only unsustainable but may become obsolete.Apple is exploring compression technology to run Alibaba’s massive 27-billion-parameter Qwen 3.6 AI model natively on iPhones. Through an AI startup called PrismML, researchers shrank the model's memory footprint from roughly 54GB to under 4GB without severely degrading its intelligence.
They won't. When will you realise they don't want you to do your own computing?
>>539091492not any time soon, seeing how micron & co forced their customers into long term contracts with fixed prices that have punitive fees in the billions if their customers do not order enough chips.you'll probably have to wait for china to enter that field in some 5 years or so
>>539091492In the next year, my friend.
