    US Customs supervisor busted for stealing Core i7 CPUs, RAM, and hard drives from Homeland Security PCs — stolen tech swapped with inferior hardware

    They probably log all hardware as part of their management system. It's prerty easy to see what hardware is in your pc using software. Logging the hardware configs of each pc would be a default thing to do IMO. I know if I wanted to manage the systems in my organization, I'd want something...

    DRAM Pricing Jumps 50%, Only 70% of Orders Getting Filled

    I'd buy a 64 GB kit of DDR5-6000 labeled "Dear leader's 100% hole in one special version memory" if it was sold for $200. Fully familiar with it, it's about 35 miles from where I live. Much of Niagara County (where love canal is located) is a polluted mess. Dumping was prevalent there, not...

    DRAM Pricing Jumps 50%, Only 70% of Orders Getting Filled

    DDR3?? Wasn't the last thing that used that Haswell 4000 series and AMD bulldozer junk? No way people are building "new" PCs with that. Are people really investing in 12 year old hardware?

    GPU prices — is the worst behind us ?

    Chip makers are the winners in all of this. When there is a gold rush you don't pan for gold to not miss out - you sell shovels and pans.

    DRAM Pricing Jumps 50%, Only 70% of Orders Getting Filled

    Depends on the parts. I bet the high ram/ssd prices from shortage will result in fewer people building/buying. For parts where there isn't a shortage like CPUs fewer people building will probably put some downward pressure on those prices. Supply and demand. I'll probably look to upgrade...
