Computing Why is RAM so expensive!?!?!

[Aidan]

Because of dipshit Nvidia and all these AI losers.

Oh no, the world is on the verge of a technological revolution! Fuck the innovators.

Are you actually that clueless that you can't fathom the idea that AI will revolutionize the world we live in?

What's the difference between 32GB DDR5 and 32GB DDR4?

the 4 grew up and became a 5
duh
Think of DDR4 as a 2lane highway where cars travel at about 50 kmph, while DDR5 is like a 4lane highway where cars go 150 kmph.
DDR5 moves data almost three times faster, making things run afster and can do more at once

I was doing another build for my next computer and I literally cannot get RAM.

DDR5 RAM is just insanely overpriced right now and I don't want to get used RAM because I don't know what the previous person did with it and don't want to take chances.

Is anyone else having this problem right now or is it just me?

oof
i built this pc just last week?
got 64GB DDR5 ram for like 700 bucks
still fucking salty about it lol
