    The RAM in demand is DDR5. The price of older RAM might be driven up somewhat because more people are buying older computers due to the price increases, but I doubt buying refurbs just to harvest the RAM would be commercially viable.

    Isn’t new ram ddr5 and ddr4 is old? I bought 3 i5-6500 machines with 16gb of ddr4 for $55/each and slapped in $30 rx480 GPs and been selling them for $150/each.

      DDR5 was the first to be hit with 200-400% price increases, but DDR4 is also seeing similar price hikes as demand cascades to what’s available.

Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.
