>one 8GB ddr3 bar of ram is almost double the price of when

sorry, doggo. Just download some for now.

Same thing as the last time, some sweatshop in southeast Asia blew up.

Upgrade to DDR4.

I could sell my 16GB kit for a profit

>bought 2 4x4 kits a few years back
>the same kits now are worth $240 on newegg
>I bought them on sale for $80

>bought some 8gb ddr4 kit for $43. It now goes for $67 on newegg.
>i bet I can get like $55 out it now.
>if I want to upgrade to 16gb it would actually be cheaper for me to to Craigslist my current kit and buy a new 2x8gb kit than just buying 2 new sticks
That's actually pretty funny.
