MP 7,1 Memory prices increasing dramatically

[Regulus67]

The AI models high memory usage seems to raise prices across the board.

Even old 4x 64GB 256GB DDR4 ECC LRDIMM RAM PC4 2666MHz kits for the iMac Pro. This summer it was €269, now €599.

A fully loaded Mac Pro will cost a fortune to upgrade to 1.5 TB memory.
This summer I saw 12x 128GB 1.5TB DDR4 ECC LRDIMM RAM 2933MHz kit for €3.250, today the same kit is €5.550

The two kits I mention here is on ebay. Same seller, same kit, sharply raised prices.

I keep track of European prices, as I live within the EU. Thus avoiding the added 25% tax on import.

Went back to a couple builds I just did over this last year and ram prices have more than doubled. Absolutely insane.
