I bought 32GB in 2024 and I wanted to double it. I opened a tab, checked the price, and closed the tab. Then I sat quietly for a moment.</p> <p>The same 32GB kit I bought in 2024 now costs more than double. DDR5 prices have gone up roughly 400% since mid-2025 [1]. DDR4 is not much better. A kit that cost $60–$90 in late 2025 now sells for $150–$180 [2].</p>
