Sadly is a standard price in this market. I will personally wait and enjoy my Deck for a couple more years hoping this whole "Shitpocalypse" to pass.

For context my 16x2/32GB kit.

I got for $115 March 2025.

I also got a second kit that same time, from Amazon, to make it a full 64GB system. Since Microcenter is 1 per customer. ๐Ÿฅน

$499.99 now lol.

If I knew then....I would have splurged for a 128GB system :(

lol - you're not alone: I've been waiting 4 years to replace my, now, 12 year old PC.

At first I was waiting for the whole crypto craze to loosen the demand on GPUs. Now, due to the AI hype, additionally memory is out of my price range.

But, hey, my aging PC isn't qualified to run Windows 11 (the mobo doesn't have TPM 2) - so, at least I have that going for me.
