I don't really feel that the prices are 'exceptional', But if things keep going in this direction, the price will go back to normal.

IMO the price is going to crash a little and stop over and over for the next year or so as the RAM cartel does some market fuckery to try to maintain its profits.

How is 5% crashing? Like, seriously, please think a little before posting.

A commodity that went from 150 to 500 and then back to 475 did not crash.

How is 5% crashing

Well you see, it is a consistant downward movement after a plateau.

Like, seriously, please think a little before posting.

I end every comment with a sonic the hedgehog forum signature. I'm offended you would even bother asking.

You know what: Fair enough.

Is anyone gonna care about PC component prices when we're all gonna be homeless extras huddling around a trash can fire in an 80s movie in like two weeks

[-] chgxvjh@hexbear.net 23 points 3 days ago

-5% is no crash yet. Prices increased by like 300%

It's foolish to buy now. When it sinks it will probably really sink. The bubble was probably deflating before the war, it can pop because of it.

[-] Tabitha@hexbear.net 16 points 3 days ago

that's crazy cuz I sold some sticks on ebay lowkey like a semi forknife ago so I probably peaked my profs

[-] JustSo@hexbear.net 9 points 3 days ago

Time in the market > timing the market. Which is why I still got some DDR2 laptop RAM lying around.

[-] JustSo@hexbear.net 4 points 3 days ago

its kind of embarrassing how big my box of salvaged ancient ram sticks is.

I bought 32gb ram before the prices went super high. If I would have known of the price escalation I probably would have conisdered 64 ....even if its overkill in most use cases.

the memory mafia is going to do all they can to keep it where it was.

those are dollars being ripped from the capitalists hands, and hell or high water are they not going to let those planned dollars become actual dollars. It does not matter that those dollars were only plans. This was their get rich quick moment and now it is potentially slipping away.

Will this affect PC prices, or will those stay inexplicably inflated?

[-] Ildsaye@hexbear.net 8 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

My guess is that if the memory cartel can't keep the prices up, PC vendors would be in even less of a position to do so.

need oracle to implode ehehehehehehe-he

cxl worst invention after llm

[-] ThermonuclearHoxha@hexbear.net 2 points 3 days ago

Because Oracle was founded by the CIA or another reason?

[-] plinky@hexbear.net 3 points 3 days ago

They are (a) evil (b) doing lots of datacenters buildout (c) in mild financial shit, thus them folding would be a nice signal (d) maybe they backed loans for tikitoki and warner in some stocks as well, would be nice
