And I'm beating myself for not preemptively ordering that 128G kit for $500 a couple of months ago, thinking about upgrading soon.

Last week it went to $1300 and now it's not available anymore.

Guess I'll just skip AM5 and wait for AM6 at this rate...

Same situation. I looked up the previous RAM boom and bust cycles (thanks Gemini) and we are looking at over a year of waiting potentially.
