    … I was thinking about buying a 96GB DDR5 kit from the local computer store a few weeks ago, but wasn’t sure it was actually worth €700. Checked again now and the exact same product costs €1500. I guess that settles it, 32GB will have to be enough for the next couple of years then.

      Iv come to learn over the years. If you want to buy computer parts just do it.

      Your actively stupid if you don’t cause some bigger idiot with more money then brains will make a new grift that causes everything to be unaffordable.

      Fuck waiting for deals, fuck thinking twice. Just fucking buy it and ignore reality around you cause you will be pissed either way.

      Either a deal comes and you fucked yourself, or everything goes to the moon and now you have nothing AND your fucked.

        Part of it the thrill of the hunt. I’ve caught some great deals over the years stalking marketplace.

        Got .iso storage after chia crashed
        Got a 3090 after Bitcoin asics took over
        Got a 5900x when the X3D parts came out

        But I’ve never seen decent RAM for sale, only single sticks or slow kits.
