What I heard on the ground floor from various system integrators, components manufacturers, and other companies, is memory supply has been tied up for all of 2026, and that shortages could last as long as until 2031.

Sure it's scuttlebutt but wouldn't surprise me as being true.

I thought the same until one ram stick died this week, it's apparently now $1200 for a replacement

JFC, what size? I paid about that for 64gb kit, and between my purchase and pickup 3 days later it went up like 150 - 200
