Comment on An entire PS5 now costs less than 64GB of DDR5 memory, even after a discount — simple memory kit jumps to $600 due to DRAM shortage, and it's expected to get worse into 2026

I’m glad I opted to start at 64GB ram on the PC I built about a year ago. Compared to the other parts like CPU and GPU, it felt relatively cheap to bump it up from 32GB.

Wondering if I should pull the trigger on more storage though… Don’t really need it right now but eventually I’ll probably need some.

If you don’t have immediate needs, I’d wait.
The AI payments will dry up and factories won’t know where to put it.

  Ah too late lol, ended up grabbing a 990 pro 2tb for $200 CAD. Looking around online, there seems to be a bunch of retailers at that price, though mostly the brick and mortar ones. I kinda thought they might be slower to react to quickly moving prices than the more specialist places (I got it from Staples).

    The price sounds almoat reasonable to me.
    Afaik it hovers around that price anyway the last time I looked at it.
