DRAM prices are spiking hard, and 2026 is looking rough for anyone building rigs or upgrading setups. Memory costs don't just hit gamers—crypto miners and AI enthusiasts are feeling it too. When RAM gets pricey, everything from gaming PCs to mining farms sees tighter margins. Could this shift push more people toward cloud solutions or delay hardware refreshes? Either way, the ripple effect is real. If you're planning a build, might want to act before prices climb even higher.

Ngl, the price of DRAM is really insane this time, and the mining costs are going to shoot up again...
