I also mentioned my processor, and it turns out we're running the same one on our 5 year old systems (mine started with a 3600X though I bought the 5-series when the 7-series was hitting)

But yeah, even DDR4 looks like it's more than it was a few months back. Or maybe it's just that I'm poorer RN than I was back then, so it seems more expensive than I remember

Still trippy you brought it up cause I was shopping RAM yesterday
