Nope. Must have missed it completely.
Okay.. now that's more like it! Good find.

Thankyou for illustrating my point Ben, I'm glad you agree with me that shitty budget DDR3 RAM hasn't changed in price;
Shitposting memes of your retardation isn't necessary because there's already enough of that in your other posts, besides your arse might get jealous and then you'll be all butthurt.
Some people confuse the growth of the dollar with cheaper consumer electronics.
Let me illustrate;
Now lets look at some DDR3 RAM pricing in Europe during a similar period of parity growth.
Hmmm, not as volatile as you might expect, but this is easily explained by the Grexit crisis.
Now lets look at some DDR3 RAM pricing in the US over the same period.
Woah, look at that shit, it's like the the valley and dip follows the growth of the US dollar.
Who'd have thought :P

Considering inflation over the last 3 years ram is as cheap as ever and i dont care about your 'growth of the dollar' it means nuthing the dollar gos up and down everyday
Just to let you know Flash isn't DRAM of lower quality, Flash and DRAM are entirely different transistor technologies. Flash transistors have a "floating gate" which is entirely not present in DRAM transistors. Flash (like in thumbdrives or ssds) is so much cheaper per GB because the technology is inherently more dense. A Flash cell is a 1T cell meaning it takes 1 transistor to store a bit, whereas DRAM takes a transistor and a capacitance, leading it to be more dense.
Also OP is claiming that RAM is so simple, but this is pretty baseless and false. Yes there are a lot of different components on a motherboard that have to work together, but they are all mostly on a normal manufacturing scale (as in they don't have to be produced in a fab), and the components that are produced in a fab are much smaller and don't need nearly as sophisticated of a manufacturing process (which processors, RAM, and Flash all need).

LOL 26 months yes. 4 Months before that the same ram was 20 dollar cheaper.
Back In 2012 I bought Corsair Vengeance 8gb (2 x 4gb) 1600 for 54.99, actually got it for 46.74 with a promo code. Today the price is at 77.99. Odd that after 3 years ago, it's gone up in price. You know the price of ssd's will come down, just like mechanical hard drives have. I didn't realize RAM was a commodity on the stock exchange.
It's a better investment choice than oil or crops because corporations NEED ECC RAM to run servers, and lots of it, several stacks of serverboards with terabytes of RAM.
