    DDR2 Prices are up 60% as AI datacenters are slapping together whatever hardware they can get.

    There is NO affordable RAM, and this is by design.

      Nope it is for legacy systems which are not upgraded to new standard.

      “Of course, today’s PCs don’t use DDR2, so we’re likely to see the impact of these price increases landing in areas like embedded systems, networking equipment, industrial controllers, automotive electronics, and other long-lived devices that were designed around it and are too costly to requalify on newer memory generations like DDR4 and five.”
