teeejay94 You guys know $380 is egregious and ridiculous. Stop coping and tell them to shove their sale where it don't shine Reply

Although it is cheaper than normal at the moment, this article is still feeding to the inflated prices. There should be a law to force companies to allocate a percentage of ram sales for consumers, rather than selling all to Ai data centres! The ram shortage for consumers is through just pure greed. This seems to be the new narrative for businesses now (electricity costing many times more than it should, fuel price hyper increases, etc, and at the same time these companies are making record profits, so using their current excuses just don't wash anymore!), and our governments are letting it happen! Its disgusting! Reply

I don't disagree with you at all, but, this may help someone putting together a rig right now, and save them some money. Even if you don't like the article, it is relevant to some. Reply

Its disgusting! Not to mention they use taxpayer funding to build their factories and tax breaks to skim on paying property taxes. So they're stealing from us to then later gouge us with inflated prices. This should be illegal. Reply
