If you've been wondering why RAM prices are so high, we dug into 5 years of DDR3 & DDR4 memory price data, looking into potential causes of the cost of memory increase. Memory prices have something of a cycle of increases and decreases. We've seen it in previous years -- 2013 to 2014, for one -- and it's probably going to happen again. The big question is when DDR4 prices will go back down.

Links to Amazon and Newegg are typically monetized on our channel (affiliate links) and may return a commission of sales to us from the retailer. This is unrelated to the product manufacturer. Any advertisements or sponsorships are disclosed within the video ("this video is brought to you by") and above the fold in the description. We do not ever produce paid content or "sponsored content" (meaning that the content is our idea and is not funded externally aside from whatever ad placement is in the beginning) and we do not ever charge manufacturers for coverage.
