good news: DDR5 prices have come down from pants-on-head silly to regular silly, putting them in that range where you could *maybe* justify buying some but you'll hate yourself afterwards.

@gsuberland how are we doing on SSDs? I would really like to put another SSD in my PC so I can put linux on it without fucking about with partition resizing

@gsuberland I am really annoyed at myself for cheaping out on buying new hard drives because I didn't *immediately* need them and didn't expect them to also go through the roof (though not as badly as the rest)

@gsuberland just gotta hold out a little longer
@dysfun I really wanna upgrade my lab machine. it's running an i7-4790K / 32GB DDR3 / 980Ti, which is no slouch despite its age, but now I'm doing a lot more stuff in Fusion up here it's really bottlenecking on only having 4 cores and the yester-year quantity of cache.
currently looking at a 7700X (twice as many cores, higher base and boost clocks, twice the L1, lots more L2, twice the L3/core, and IPC uplift), a cooler, an X870 board, and 2x32GB DDR5, for about £600. the RAM is £240 of that.

@halcy if you just want a basic ass 500GB SATA with no DRAM cache then you can get those cheap. but 1TB NVMe SSDs are still like... 300% the price they were before this mess started.

@halcy I had no choice but to buy one a while back and it *really* stung. I think I paid 3.5x the price it had been just a few months earlier.

@gsuberland @dysfun i7-4790k my beloved, I still have one in my NAS

@gsuberland yeah nah i want to run the OS off it so… a proper one
augh

@gsuberland Maybe for DDR5 modules.
Have you seen what Digikey wants for loose DDR4 ICs? $300+ for a single 16Gbit IC

@azonenberg @gsuberland We're specing out a new embedded Linux design at work and it's painful.
