RAM represented about 15 to 18 percent of PC costs last quarter, HP said.

    Holy fuck. That is insane. It used to be something like 5-10% max.

      And it’s never going away because the technology for RAM by subscription is right around the corner.

    PC manufacturers should grow some balls and tell RAM suppliers to lower the price or lose their business forever.

    My base starting point parts list (full build with 9800x3d, 64GB/4TB, 9700xt) was 2000usd about five months ago when it was last used to base a build on.

    It’s currently ‘down’ to about 3400 after peaking last week at over 3500. The excess is nearly entirely from RAM and SSD prices.
