Earlier this year I was considering upgrading my desktop to 64GB, but didn’t want to upgrade straight from 32GB to 64GB because I was using DDR4. If I was gonna buy an upgrade I wanted it to be to DDR5, but that would have involved a processor and motherboard upgrade that would have cost almost $500 combined (including the RAM). Ultimately I decided against it because of the cost (I don’t actually need a processor upgrade) and figured I’d buy down the line when I needed to.
Now the RAM alone is the cost of the entire upgrade. Bonkers.

Sold 10 years old 8*2GB DDR 4 for 50 euros just a few days ago. They didn’t even ask, just straight buy in minutes of posting. I was expecting some negotiation and selling by 35-40.
The same kit I sold is now being purchased for 65 euros.

I am trying and failing to get any 16GB DDR4 for €35, so that checks out.
For now, say hello to OOM killer.
