DDR4 ECC RAM prices falling like a stone

[L'Ancien Regime]

A couple months ago 64 gigs of  DDR4 RAM  ECC was $800

 

Now? $570

All I can say is "WOW" 

 

 

These are glory days my friends

I'm relatively ignorant on hardware. In practical terms how will this improve my day to day experience as a 3D generalist?

Think of your 3d application as an arena of operations. If you have a 2 gig RAM computer, you're working in a 250 sq ft apartment with a low ceiling.

 

If you have 8 gigs you have a nice studio with 16 ft ceiling 650 sq ft

 

If you have 64gigs + you have a workplace the size of Versailles palace and all it's gardens..

 

 

 

 

And Pascal is coming next year

Good news, but I hope that prices of old DDR3 modules won't begin to increase. I was planning to purchase a second set of them next month.

I remember once when DDR2 were super cheap, DDR modules were sold at extraorbitant prices.
