For the past few months, buying a PC has felt like trying to buy a house in a hurricane — prices are up and supply is down. The RAM price crisis has been hitting us hard, and while it’s easy to see how bleak the situation is (I see it too), I want to talk about how in March 2026, I believe the atmospheric pressure is finally shifting.
I looked on PC Part Picker and found that the average price of DDR5 had dropped slightly. Yes, it’s the smallest of margins compared to the lows before this all kicked off, but I’m looking for any good news from anywhere. This got me going down a rabbit hole of research and what I found gave me hope.
