My home pc has 4x8gb ddr4 sticks that I bought years ago. I fully intend to let them sit in there for years to come.

The numbers don't seem to add up at first glance—Samsung hikes Q2 contracts by 30% while China's spot market is seeing 10-20% fire sales.

Capitalism's version of rationing is a game only the rich can afford to play.
When retail gamers accept manufactured and/or real scarcity competing with financialized irrational exuberance of billionaires sucking up DRAM and GPUs, it's best to wait on the sidelines.
