Has anyone noticed RAM prices over the last 6 months? Specifically, I mean DDR4. I purchased 64gb (16x4) of 2133Mhz ECC RAM 1 year ago and it cost me $360. I ordered that same exact RAM today and it cost me $615. That's just insane. |

Insane was the price of RAM in 1995. I think 64mb was about $10k worth. But seriously, I haven't noticed. I don't do PC gaming, so I don't need anything fancy. |

I am not sure about now as I don't have the funds for my next step in my upgrade PC project. |

What are you using? I've been running Solidworks on the cheapest ram I can find for about a decade with no issues. |
