Samsung, Hynix sued for fixing the price of RAM
| Same as well, but RAM is a must for every computer. With the high rise of more people building, upgrading, and or hoarding I am not shocked about the higher price. But when they do get fine again that'll be the best time to stock up on RAM DDR 4s
| wut? you can be sued for fixing prices? meanwhile patented drugs and printer ink are sold very overpriced and no one gave a damn
| okay sorry for being dumb that was out of topic i had a bad day please ignore me thanks
| >>267674 >>267675 you don't mess with the big pharma, or they may just pull out that single, patented and outstandingly overpriced product that can keep someone alive from the market forever
Ink cartridges and similar stuff on the other part are considered a captive product (i hope that's the name in English) which is not exactly price fixing
| I hope this means the price of RAM will go down.

| Considering the price of RAM has more than doubled in the space of a year and a half, I'd wager that this is the reason for the hike. Since this has happened before (Samsung and Hynix were fined something like 200 million back around 2003 for price fixing) I wouldn't be surprised if it happened again.
Whatever happens, I hope the price of RAM drops to 2016 levels.
