1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,639 Speaker 1: It seems like AI isn't just about everything these days, 2 00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:04,680 Speaker 1: and that means it's kind of eating everything too. 3 00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:07,000 Speaker 2: So we've got eight gig you know, a gigs here 4 00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:09,200 Speaker 2: eight most of these are eight, and think this is 5 00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:10,039 Speaker 2: a sixteen. Here. 6 00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:12,680 Speaker 1: Tim Colegrove of the bike shop in JP is showing 7 00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:14,840 Speaker 1: me a collection of a couple sticks of RAM. They're 8 00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:18,120 Speaker 1: what let computers multitask and run virtually anything these days. 9 00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:22,880 Speaker 1: The price of RAM has exploded in the last two months, doubling, tripling, quadrupling, 10 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:25,960 Speaker 1: thanks mostly to the AI industry. They're buying up huge 11 00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:26,840 Speaker 1: amounts of this stuff. 12 00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:29,400 Speaker 3: They're planning on building out even further, and so I 13 00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:33,240 Speaker 3: would expect that there's going to be even more need. 14 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:36,280 Speaker 1: The chips go to feed memory hungry data centers, depriving 15 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,239 Speaker 1: regular customers. Their takeaway is that buying new computers is 16 00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,720 Speaker 1: probably going to cost an even prettier Penny. 17 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,320 Speaker 3: And I have a feeling that for the next few years, 18 00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:45,800 Speaker 3: people are going to want to hold on to their 19 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:46,479 Speaker 3: old equipment. 20 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,480 Speaker 1: Kyle Schaffle to be busy Boston's news radio
