I paid $356.99 for two sticks of CORSAIR Vengeance 32GB DDR5 in December 2022.

I had to look mine up from 2024, 64 for $285. They're $1250 now.

DDR4 and DDR5 RAM has gone up 2-5x since earlier this year. I was baffled when I was looking at the prices in October vs prices during the summer.

that's very sad and true. I basically maxed out the AM4 platform by dumpint a 4070 super in it and getting an x3d chip. It's decent for 1440p but lol my card went up in price since over a year ago.

Won't be touching any of this new #### anytime soon, unless I'm going mining for virtual gold

Hopefully it works out for you. You might want to consider the AYN Thor. I recommend it if you can swing the extra cost, and the flip design is probably better for travel.

Not a big fan of clamshells, controls just don't feel as good as other handheld devices

Nvidia reportedly plans 30-40% cut in GeForce GPU production in early 2026
Recent reports have claimed that Nvidia intends to reduce its production capacity for GeForce RTX 50 series GPUs in the first half of 2026. These cuts are reportedly due to shortages of memory, not just GDDR7, but all memory types.
