Since nobody can afford memory, this means mainboards and cases will get cheaper, right?

Or… we could learn to code software so the average mouse driver doesn’t require a gig of free RAM, 10 gigs of swap space, and 15 CPU cores?

Just a thought.

Translation, Micron is shutting down Crucial for short term shareholder value at the cost of a sustainable and proven long term brand and channel.

They will return to the market with a new brand once the bubble bursts.

My 5-year-old mainboard only supports DDR4. I’m just looking to increase my RAM and have two free slots available. But even the prices of DDR4 sticks have increased 100%-200% compared to a year ago.

They are more affordable than DDR5 sticks to be sure but still crazy.

I built a god rig in 2022, i bought the best 64gb ddr5 4-stick ram kit i could, an nvidia 4090, the best processor i could, and attached it to the best mobo i could.

I spent about 4800.

My pc is now worth about 6500.

This is some crazy ass shit. Never should a pc appreciate in value.

What the hell is going on???

I bought a fairly good custom build in April of this year for A$3218.

The same approximate build now costs A$4783 on their website.

AI companies are buying up all of the RAM in a futile bit to reach AGI.

And haven’t even achieved AI yet. What we call “AI” is still nothing more than an upjumped calculator.

In addition, we haven’t even come up with a definition of intelligence.
