3. That's trippy cause I was pricing RAM yesterday thinking of going from 4*8 to 4*16 sticks

And I hadn't looked for a few months. I didn't remember exactly what they were at when I last looked but I remembered it was very tempting due to prices being pretty decent for a 4 stick 64GB set. I looked yesterday and was like WTF, no way I'm doing this. But I wasn't sure how much it had increased.

32GB sets aren't $400 though, at least not DDR4 (I'm still on a Ryzen 5800X), unless maybe if you want super low latency stuff. But I didn't look at DDR5. $400 is absurd for 32GB either way even if it's the absolute fastest variety.

I'm a bit loathe to replace my trusty, very fast Samsung B-die sticks anyway so I'll just deal with fewer running containers or VM's, like I have been

Anyways, unless Newegg is using this AI pricing, I imagine I was looking at the same prices as everyone. I think the goal of this AI stuff in the article is to individualize pricing down to the person themselves, or at least the machine they're shopping on.
