You’re sitting on a gold mine - first DDR6/HBM, then DDR5, then DDR4 got expensive. If trends continue, somewhere around 2028 you’ll be able to sell that desoldered 128KB of SNES RAM for a fortune.
They don’t use DDR at all, the datacenter ones use HBM (I think 3 or 4 now) and normal GPUs use GDDR7 or 6/X but GDDR is not the same as DDR and we could even have GDDR8 before DDR6.
Don’t forget storage prices now too and not just NVMe drives. I can’t wait for this AI hoarding to finally fucking crash. It’s like the mining shit we had with GPUs in steroids. Ugh.
Stares at RAM and GPU prices
laughs in old ebay acquisitions and retro games

Hoping DDR3 prices go up so I can finally sell the 128 GB of RAM I have been saving “just in case” lol
Hoping you don’t ever have to think about DDR3.
Huh?
Memory that is embedded in GPUs.

You’re technically correct. The best kind of correct. Thanks.
I got my new gaming laptop during black friday sales, a few weeks before the AIpocalypse started. The exact laptop I got then is now 400 euro more!
You don’t have to play current gen AAA games. They are crazy expensive anyway.
And generally not very high quality.
