I can't say I'm surprised. I can't imagine too many scenarios where one would want to buy a motherboard without RAM and a CPU, barring the obvious replacement purchases and the occasion you might need a feature your board doesn't have (like PCIe gen 4 to gen 5). Yet another hardware shortage definitely puts a damper on enthusiasm too...

Maybe we'll see motherboards come down in price to drive sales? One can hope.
