matt-- Posted December 9, 2001 Share Posted December 9, 2001 The price of RAM has gone down dramatically! You may remember about a year back, there was an earthquake in China that forced some factories out of business...well the market for memory has rebounded. I just went out and bought another 512 megabytes for $70! After the quake, that $70 would have only gotten you 64 megs. Go buy some! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt-- Posted December 9, 2001 Author Share Posted December 9, 2001 Nope, your just looking in the wrong places. Go to a computer show. A local college holds a comp show each month...great deals. Besides my ram, I got a 19 in monitor for $80 and a boatload of other crap for my parents comp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainRAVE Posted December 9, 2001 Share Posted December 9, 2001 Yea.........in the UK last year 512Mb Ram was not available because it was too expensive. 256Mb was about £300.....now its only £20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Simpson Posted December 9, 2001 Share Posted December 9, 2001 With RAM being so cheap, I might pick up another stick of 512 MB DDR, to bring my total up to 1024 MB DRR... *drool* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nob Akimoto Posted December 10, 2001 Share Posted December 10, 2001 Careful, low prices aren't as good as you might think. Especially when it comes to Ram chips, a majority of the DRAMurai have stopped binning any of their chips in order to get volume out the door. While there shouldn't be a problem with running them at 100Mhz(standard for lower generation P3's, and first generation Athlons) anything higher with a faster CAS latency could prove problematic. BTW, DDR SDRAM is rising in price due to the lack of supply in contrast to demand, especially with Intel going the DDR route with their new i845 chipset.(Well not exactly new, but it's newly released.)
