Next year isn't looking so hot for sensibly priced hardware upgrades either…

    How mich margin is enough?.Gamers nexus just did a video on Micron’s gross margins, and its absolutely disgusting. Its gone from mid 30% to 90% in some of their divisions in a few years.

    What does “double-digit price increase” mean?
    $10 is two digits.
    I imagine it’s a percentage increase? But then again, it could be anything from 10% to 99%.

      Or maybe adding two more digits to the price?

      I had the same thought, it’s such a terrible way of talking about it. I’m guessing it means one order of magnitude.

      Where’s this free market you speak of? All I see is corruption and corporate welfare.

        RAM isn’t a free market; it’s a cartel.

      Turns out the invisible hand of the market isn’t so much a hand as a single outstretched middle finger.

      Dig up that old invoice or receipt if you can since even your ten year old RAM might have a lifetime warranty on it.

        If they’ll even honor it. No, there are no legal requirements for anything in the US any more.

    I was thinking of selling my old DDR4 RAM but at this point, I think I’ll keep it as a backup in case my current dies for whatever reason between now and the next 10+ years.

      Where is the best place to sell DDR4? I have 128GB mixed DIMM and SODIMM.

      Not a bad idea, just keep in mind that a lot of memory companies have lifetime warranties on their higher end modules too that you can try. I recently had success RMA’ing my 2.5 year old sticks that went bad but of course YMMV.
