The original simns and dimms definitely have always been a bit more pricey and rare.They come from a pre-internet era before the big explosion and computing that happened in the early 2000s.
DDR2 was everywhere and dirt cheap for a time. Well, if you knew the places to look. DDR3 was getting close to joining if before all this bullshit started to happen. Hell even DDR4 a couple of years ago. I got ahold of a HP elitebook with a ryzen 7 2000 series and 8GB of ram. I wanted 16GB so I just needed another 8. But looking at the price, for a similarly specced kit to what was in it. It was 20 to 30 dollars more for some 32GB kits. Needless to say. That laptop has a ridiculous 32GB kit in it now. If only things were still that cheap.
