The article answered itself. An artificial shortage to induce technological change.

Is integrated storage an improvement on RAM?

I remember a time when 64K of RAM would cost $2,000.

When I went to high school, computers used small magnetic rings for memory.

Earlier this year I bought RAM for $200. It’s now $700. Hopefully there’s room to increase production.

My first computer didn't have RAM. It had mag tapes and disk platters...

When the crisis extends to Obamaphones made in China, then it's real.

All we need is a new RAM equivalent, made from raw materials abundant in America. Too bad media BS is not recycable.

Sooo.... all the RAM I’ve been accumulating over the last 20+ years is worth a small fortune now?

UGH!
After reading this, I just checked my account at PC Part Picker and updated the parts list for my next gaming build. Flippin' RAM is $200 more expensive than the CPU.

Looks like I'll be working a LOT more overtime soon...

Because “they” want to control you.

Been seeing this story the past few days. I wonder how much it’s pushed up the price of RAM?
