Valve's Steam Deck OLED models are out of stock in the US, and the RAM crisis looks like it may be responsible again.

      Maybe browser devs will take this opportunity to start working towards memory optimizations. That’s where the majority of my memory goes and that includes Electron apps.

      Rocking 64GB on my desktop after an opportunistic upgrade a couple of years ago and barely using 32GB most of the time

        Mine has 48GB. Started with 16, but a few years ago the pc started crashing/freezing randomly. I assumed it was because of bad ram, so I just bought a new set of 32GB, since it was pretty cheap, but the crashes continued after switching to the new ram. So I added the old 2x8gb sticks back in and now I have 48.

        Turned out it was the cpu that was bad.

        I had 32 GB of ddr4 3200 speed Corsair.

        About a year ago I found a new in box 32GB Corsair exact same set of ram I had at a bin store and bought it for a whopping… $5.

        I have no need for 64GB, but even a year ago $5 ram was just way too cheap to not buy.

    I just had to replace some ram I bought 5 years ago. I would’ve normally expected the price to have dropped 50% in that time if not more. Instead it went up like 40%.
