It's really crazy how much expensive are the RAM modules, compared to a almost high-end GPU and high-end CPU.

- tgflynn 5y ago64 GB is a lot of memory to put in a PC. Ten years ago that amount of memory would have cost you about $64000. EDIT: Er, sorry it looks like I misread the chart, I think the price 10 years ago was much lower than that. It's still a lot of memory though, compared to what a typical PC ships with.
- cmeacham98 5y agoAs someone who owned a computer in 2012, I can confirm RAM was not $1000/GB or even $100/GB or even $10/GB (that could maybe be reasonable for very high end RAM).
- dTal 5y agoI'm pretty sure I was building workstations 10 years ago with 16gb of RAM, and I sure wasn't spending 16 grand on the modules - maybe 1/100 as much. As for amount, I don't think two doublings in 10 years is unreasonable.
