I bought 48 GB DDR5 for my laptop back in September, just before the prices ignited their rocket engines. I paid 120€ I think. Prices now are like 500(ish). Truly insane.

I got a laptop back in late July for moving abroad. Figured I might as well go big or go home while I had the money and set myself up with 96gb ddr5, the max the laptop can hold. "I might get a desktop later and this way I could take half out of the laptop and use a converter to put it in there".

It was about $250 for me after tax to get that much ram. Hard for me to find prices on my exact ones but looks like about $900-1200 currently before tax and where I'm at now it would be a 25% vat
