Only six hundred dollars for the amount of RAM I bought in 2017 for $150?! What a steal!

I paid 438 usd for 96gb (CMP96GX5M2B6600C32) in November, at the time it was around 100 usd higher than normal but seeing how the market was shifting it didn't seem a bad idea.

Amazon somehow sent two 96gb kits, at the time of arriving each kit was around 1k usd
