The RAM I just bought last week was 4 times the identical purchase 14 months ago.
You sure it's not part of the shortage? Who's making new ddr4?
That's why I said "as much". Since DDR5 went crazy, people started buying DDR4, which is driving the price up, but still only at a 2x increase vs 5x for DDR5.
Hence, the release of this motherboard.
