Dude's filthy rich. Wish I had gone with the upgrade I planned to do last fall.

I kept spending my money on food instead of upgrades. Here's hoping DDR5 drops below 2x its Sept 2025 value in 2027, to coincide with Zen 6.

I tried to get RAM on eBay. 8GB & 16GB kits are not even being auctioned, and when they are sold their price tag is well over 3x their value, often 4x (~GB£170). 32GB sells for 3-4x its value (~£260-£320), almost as much as 64GB, which is often going for >2.5x (~£380-£440). If you're desperate or are okay with massive financial waste, eBay is often the cheapest place for 64GB kits, but anything lower is relatively more expensive than just buying from distributors
