Generative “AI” data centers are gobbling up trillions of dollars in capital, not to mention heating up the planet like a microwave. As a result there’s a capacity crunch on memory production, shooting the prices for RAM sky high, over 100 percent in the last few months alone.

    Yeah, just checked the 2 sites I use for computer components.
    1 had no RAM listed.
    The other had 32GB DDR4 at 2x the price and no 128GB kit (96 was the highest, 64 for DDR4)
