minus-squareFartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up51·3 months agoThe RAM in demand is DDR5. The price of older RAM might be driven up somewhat because more people are buying older computers due to the price increases, but I doubt buying refurbs just to harvest the RAM would be commercially viable.

minus-squarecley_faye@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·3 months agoDDR5 is the latest tech, but it affects everything. Even SO-DIMM DDR4 have had a price hike.
minus-squarew3dd1e@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up3·3 months agoI bought DDR4 ram a year or two ago for $30 bucks. It’s $70 for the same RAM now.
minus-squarehereiamagain@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up2·3 months agoYep. Annoying. A few weeks ago I didn’t realize all of this was starting, I wanted another 16gb ddr4 for a computer I was converting into a server. Was annoying to discover the price increase for seemingly no reason.
