DDR4 boards have increased in price more than DDR5 boards (generally speaking) because of how expensive DDR5 is. Basically, consumers are buying DDR4 and not DDR5, causing a lot of the new old stock of DDR4 boards to rise in price.
I’m aware, that’s why I said it was still cheaper than DDR5. I was responding to this:
CPUs have still a good price on the market, I don’t know about Motherboards. So you could eventually buy a new board that supports modern CPUs, but still support DDR4.

It’s still less than DDR5 memory, obviously.
The point is not to buy more RAM, but reuse the existing one and buy a new CPU.
