This really is crazy. I paid around 110 € for 32 GB DDR5 in late 2023, today the exact same RAM is 550 €.
I wanted to upgrade to my home lab server's storage and instead of just buying RAM, I bought a new "server" (used micro PC) and gifted the old one to my father who needed a new machine anyway.
I ramped up my 2 PCs to 32GB DDR4 on the second hand market, it was so cheap I don't even remember, 10 or 20€ for 16GB? Two years ago probably.
So you're telling me I did good staying on AM4 and DDR4
I paid $65 bucks for 32gb ddr4 3600mhz around 2020. Crazy to see ram prices now.
