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.

Oh dear, I've seen through it for a long time. With the rise in hardware costs, the Miner has to suffer.

The recent rise in memory prices is really outrageous; miners are all crying poor now.

If I had known, I would have upgraded last year; the memory prices are simply outrageous now.

Damn, is memory going to rise again? What should I do about my mining costs?

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