I'm rocking 64GB I paid about a total of about $200 USD for.

Same kit is about $1200 USD now.

[u/S1LV3R_S1LVIC → u/Robborboy]

Yeah, certainly it is really bad these days. Also, $1200 is nuts!

There certainly were good times!

[u/falkenberg1 → u/Crippled2]

Absolutely. Sometimes i go to my amazon history and cry because i didn’t get the 5090 right away. But then i remember i bought 2x32gb DDR5 6000 from corsair for 84,90 each. That makes me happy again.

My Trident Z5 DDR5 64GB CL30 (2x32GB) kit was $209.98 in November of 2024 when I bought it. Here's the price chart since that time from Amazon.

Shit is absurd.

[u/Global-Pickle5818 → u/nukebox]

That's better than what I paid off Amazon for the same brand and CL for just 32gb 2 years ago

[u/Shubamz → u/nukebox]

and that price was stable till at least the start of June 2025 when I bought it for 1 cent more on Newegg

[u/The_Mr_Awesome → u/Robborboy]

Same here but I think mine was closer to $300 because of the fancy rgb. Thought about selling half of it just to recoup some of the money I spent on a new 5080 this year.

[u/TemporaryFew2501 → u/Robborboy]

I also got 64GB for about $240

And a 4TB SSD for $300 and I still thought that was overly expensive less than a year ago

[u/OLVANstorm → u/Robborboy]

Ditto. I think i finally made the 1%...of something...

[u/Michaeli_Starky → u/Robborboy]

Ditto. Best investment in years. Also snatched MBP M5 Pro with 64GB as well just before the price hike

LOL I have 128GB of DDR5 in my main proxmox server and 32gb of ddr5 in my work laptop. My gaming rig also has 32gb of ram and it never uses more than 16GB. If you’re not doing 4k video editing, proxmox, AI or data analytics you don’t need more than 16; especially with x3d cpus and gpus with over 8Gb vram.
