Comment on 64GB of DDR5 RAM now costs more than a MacBook Air - memory prices have surged 300% in just six months

  I have 128 GB of ddr5 memory in my machine. I paid 1400 for my 7900xtx which I thought was crazy and now half my ram is worth that.

  Never thought I would see the day where the graphics card was not the most expensive component.

    Maybe you should have bought 256 GB

      I should not have even gotten the 128.

      I can use it but barely at 4600 because ryzen chips can’t handle 4 dimms of 32gvb.

      I honestly didn’t even bother to check at the time of purchase and it is is still a roll of the dice if I restart.

        Sell two, wait until the crash, and upgrade for less money. Win-win!
