Don’t worry. When ChatGPT goes broke there’ll be loads of cheap RAM as the insolvency firm tries to monetise the assets.

@KimSJ @digitalraven Alas, I've heard that whilst the memory chips themselves are the same the surface-mounted boards are different to conventional PCs so would need reflowing/desoldering and then manually resoldering to new boards (which are normally done by pick'n'place machines which require the chips to be on sheets). I suspect even if the AI boards are "sold" at 1/4 price the resulting sticks will still be higher priced than they were a few months ago.
