   About 2 years ago I bought some SDRAM or something like that, DDR4 or DDR5, don't recall offhand. A few months ago I looked at the price today, and it was over 3x as high. That's just insane. Governments need to do something against this abuse system that AI amplified here.

      3x? I bought 128GB DDR5 SODIMMs for 300 eur. Now it's 4000 eur.

         Damn you were lucky. I bought 96GB DDR5 last year for £600 UKP. They're now retailing for three times that.

         Bastards.

            Yeah the 300 already felt like a splurge - it's the max. 96 was less than 200 I felt kinda stupid not just going with that. Imagine 96 of anything now for less than 200

               I just checked the latest pricings. 48GB DDR5 SODIMM now selling for £2,400.
