IMO wait a few months for RAM and VRAM prices to go down. Prices went up because the news claimed there were contracts to buy 12 months worth of 90% of production of VRAM and SSDs from major manufacturers. Well, OpenAI did not have a contract, it had a letter of intent, which it has recently broken. In West Virginia monthly power bills are now more than peoples’ mortgages due to a local data center. Cities attract data centers to claim they created jobs but the regular people pay the bill. I think we’ll see more resistance to data centers, letters of intent will not become contracts for a few companies, and VRAM and SSD prices will come down. Here are some sites with price histories per unit of RAM/VRAM. 1. RAM Price History | Historical DRAM Prices 1957-Present 2. PC Part Picker. https://pcpartpicker.com/trends/price/memory/ 3.
