I’ve been building my own PCs since the late 80’s. This is the first time I’ve had hardware appreciate in value.

I just got two 16 mb ddr5 sticks for $200 off a dude on Craigslist. Feels like I win the damn lottery. Pain in my entire ass to put it in my steam machine. Do not recommend.

Only a 500% increase? Lucky

Hold and hope that nothing breaks. In a couple of years there will be no more bubble and Chinese overcapacity on the memory market.

Wasn’t normal before this current mess? I don’t remember trying to buy the same RAM again a few years later ever being easy.

Upgrade ? =/= Same RAM?
