Once you know, you Newegg!I got 64GB of ram for my laptop back in April, was close to 700, of is 829 today. I guess only desktop sizes are over 1k?
Like April this year?
Could be that it was DDR4 or something.
Ddr5, but the laptop size on amazon. I just checked and its still under 900
Well, 900 for 64GB is still outrageous, unfortunately.
Yes, yes it is 😓
