Been there. Too pricey

 

[johnb35]

Well what do expect for 16 gb sticks of server ram? It's not cheap.

 

[EdBille10]

Not necessarily. The market well go back down. There’s price hike of $100 in a few weeks. I’m weeks late. Darn. Maybe someone can help me

RAM's expensive as hell right now and hasn't really started to go back down. Nothing you can really do about that as anything that's "cheap" will have already been snatched up. Prices have been high for a while.

I’m seeing that and I don’t like it grrrrrr. Maybe the genie will come by

Is this for a company? $100 is nothing if your upgrade is actually business impacting.

 

[EdBille10]

$100 is cool we can dig that. You have some?

How come the prices went up? Is it because of the mining craze?

His point is that if you're buying RAM for a business and the increased RAM capacity will be business impacting, dropping a few hundred $$ on RAM is worth it.

thank you, i understood what he said

the demand for it went up, and supply went down

Because of mining?

 

[EdBille10]

Because of mining?

are bitcoins that popular?

are bitcoins that popular?

Well, Bitcoin was the popular one a few years ago, now it's Ethreum that's all the rage. A lot of people still use bitcoin though.

Because of mining?

Nah, mining's all about GPU power.

are bitcoins that popular?

Yes. There's a lot of money involved in that.

 

[Darren]

Because of mining?

Because more and more devices are using RAM, thus an increase in demand for it across more devices and a decrease in supply for Desktop/Laptop RAM in particular. Tablets and phones being the primary cause for this.

Stupid phones and tablets. Come on, join the PC side.
