HI, PC BUILDING PSA

if you are looking for a new graphics card, or specifically a RAM upgrade, you might want to buy now. It’s already a little too late though.

AI is causing a massive RAM shortage. Prices have shot up tremendously. It will not be going down anytime soon, and will probably be going up even further.

This affects graphics cards because they use VRAM.

Here is what I paid for a 64 gigabyte kit of DDR5 ram a few months ago.

this is a graph showing a price of a 64 gigabyte kit by Corsair over the last month. I bought this for $215 earlier this year(and it crept up to $250 in July I suppose). As you can see, it is now about $500.

This is only going to get worse.

After World War II, cocoa was hard to get in Italy, so Pietro Ferrero used local hazelnuts, sugar, and a little cocoa to create a cheaper sweet paste. That idea became Giandujot, then SuperCrema, and finally Nutella in 1964.

In 1946, Princeton University faced an unprecedented housing shortage. Hundreds of incoming students would not have dorm assignments despite "doubling up" the rooms (i.e., making all singles into doubles and transforming existing doubles into triples or quads). This was primarily due to an influx of students returning to college after the end of World War II. An appeal was made to the local community to room students in their homes. Even so, when school started that year, more than 200 students bedded down in "Baker Hotel," a makeshift barracks in Baker Memorial Rink, until a more permanent solution could be found.

I hope everyone has stocked up your necessities? If not, I suggest you stock up on food, water, toilet paper and whatever else you may need. This may have a HUGE effect on the shelves in stores. 🤔
