I bought 128gb of DDR5 RDIMMs, cost about $4,200 or so. Considering that all new DDR5 for 2027 has already been bought by the corpos, odds are that this is going to be relatively cheap until the bubble pops.

On the...positive?...side, odds are that I can sell my old 128gb DDR4 machine for quite a few pennies.
