    Sorry guys, i’m the one who wished computers would become popular back when i was an awkward preteen in the 90’s. Oops.

    Am I lucky or what. Built my first ever PC a few months ago before all this crap started. My only regret is going with 32gb ram instead of 64.

      Built an AM4 NAS right around summer. My desktop is old but I also don’t really game that much off of my Steam Deck anymore. And so ends the era of oldschool home computing, I guess.

    I bought some RAM about 6 months ago. It costs me $299AUD for 64Gb, the same set from the same store is now $1,399. That’s an insane increase.

      2 x 48 GB Crucial 6200 DDR5 RAM in April for 310€, now it’s 1.290€. Totally insane.

    I should sell my machine for more than I paid, I don’t mind dropping back to AM3+/DDR3 if it means I can spec a replacement later and make some extra money on top of it.

      I have an old blade server that I got from work many years ago. I never set it up but just opened it up to see what’s in it and discovered it had DDR2 memory. Interested?

    Guess it was good I jumped on the 5700X3D when I was able to.

    Wonder what 3 series sells for… 3700X, etc.

    People a week ago: “you’re all stupid, DDR4 is not impacted”

    Just wait. Scarcity loves company.

    I love my AM4 5800X3D system. Paired with a 6900 XT (nice card) and 64 gigs of ram there is nothing it can’t run for me. I have played with newer gen stuff and its all worse (ether bad linux support, stability, or the hardware cooks itself).

    I honestly wonder if this shift away from consumer facing products has something to do with the plateauing of hardware as much as chasing a quick buck. I would think that if AMD just restarted 5800X3D production people would be happy.

      Ha, my system is exactly identical! I really have no reason to upgrade, besides maybe 5950X/5900XT for more cores for compiling software (I run Gentoo on it). Can’t justify that though because it’s more of a sidegrade, and they’re all out of stock now that AM4 is back in style.

      My 6900XT is a slightly-cheaper-than-6950XT frankenstein with the 6950XT full chip but 6900XT clocked VRAM. It’s so efficient. The fans don’t even spin for some games. There’s nothing it can’t play at max settings, but I’m also rendering at 1600x1200 (or less for specific older titles) on a CRT.

        I got ripped off years ago on a 1440p monitor from amazon that turned out to be 1080p, so at 1080p I doubt there is anything my nice card can not handle right now (and in the next few years at least).

    Now it’s starting to make sense. Wanted to upgrade my old processor to something newer, but still AM4. Prices are stupidly high.

    I orderes a new 5700x 2 days ago fearing they might vanish forever as there are probably only stocks left.

    I had one added for around 2 weeks in my amazon cart, but over here, in Spain, they went out of stock meanwhile, so I managed to order one from pccomponentes.com and I’m glad I did.

    I still get to keep my 32 Gb DDR4 for a couple more years, hopefully.
