Well, the idea that Chinese memory modules are cheaper has been outdated, as a recent DDR5 listing shows RAM prices have almost leveled out

    Back in the 1990s I paid over $500 for 16MB of ram. A production facility somewhere in Asia had burned down and ram high priced for almost a year. A month earlier and the entire computer would not have cost that much. Even though I am not hopeful I am boycotting AI. Actually AI is not artificial intelligence it is more like computerized lying.

      so what you’re saying is that there’s still a chance… (tho with the whole rent-a-pc and cloud gaming thing, it might forever be out of reach this time)

    I feel quite lucky to have a Microcenter near me. Just built a computer and they included 32 GB of RAM for free.
