I got a 12 GB RAM S10...

...not long after, I hear the news that the new flagships will have 12 GB RAM instead of 16 that were planned.

The value sure went up.

I bought my somewhat high-end PC in late 2025, two months before RAMageddon. Two people advised me against it. They said it wasn't a good time to buy because prices were already a bit high. I'm glad I didn't follow their advice.

128GB DDR4 3080TI rig from 2022 still going strong, I feel I timed this well.

Bought 128GB for €140 a couple years back, amazing deal looking back.

As one of those people I am decided not interesting in being represented by that...

I still have 32 GB of DDR in my drawer from when I upgraded to 64. I am too afraid to sell it because my current ram might break.

I have a glorious 32GB of overclocked DDR3, how lucky am I.

Decommissioned VM host my company was getting ready to toss out.

It's all DDR4, but even that shit is expensive now.

"640K ought to be enough for anybody."

Ugh I have 16 GB and I decided to look uo how much it was cost to fill the other 2 slots, it is almost double.

I hate myself for thinking that "no, I don't need an upgrade just because, I'm fine with what I have" one year ago (and I was also hesitant because of the dying CPUs on AM5). 32 ain't cutting it for me any more, I'm aiming for 96 or 128, but definitely not before this whole thing blows over.

Bought new computer in September 2024, to play cities skylines 2.

So, thanks you CS2

Before the rampocolypse I replaced 2x32GB sticks in my home server with 2x64GB sticks. I recently found I kept those 2x32GB sticks so I have 64GB of RAM sitting in my closet. I'm not sure if I should sell, or build something around that because I already have the most expensive piece now.

I'm in this image!

I got rather lucky with my purchase timing, tho I was just getting more RAM to deal with my 1300 Firefox tabs.

I live in fear one of the memories will stop working

I did my rebuild before January 2025 cause I thought DJT was going to fuck up world trade, I underestimated how shitty the AI Bros are.

I have 16GB of VRAM too, baybee.

This must be what it feels like to have bought a house in the 1970s

I just bought 24gb of ram (I work in IT and it's always good to have some extra 8gb sticks).

it got stolen since the USPS delivery person couldn't be bothered to follow directions and leave it inside. and I can't get my money back :(

I have three 32gb ddr5 PCs, trying to sell one for $600 but crypto bros keep offering $350 because "Chatgpt said so"

Price is 900 for mentioning ai

64Gb gang shout out!

Edit: Its now an investment!

And those of us with servers pray every day a stick won't fail. But at least people can talk to robots and make slop on demand...

Now i feel poor

People who built 32+gb ram systems in 2026:

256 GB DDR4 here, kinda considering selling some of it now...

2024 I built my NAS with 2 x 16gb sticks, 2 x 32gb sticks for 94?gb of RAM. I got lucky.

Same with drives 14tb ironwolf pros, £200-220 each now £400+ each and I need 5 more of the fuckers.

Yeah... I built my wife a machine with 64 GB of RAM in ~October of 25 right before the prices spiked. Really kicking myself for not going all in and building a NAS setup at that same time. I can't realistically bring myself to purchase 4tb hard drives or ram at this point - it's too damn expensive.
