Great deal, i just need to decide on ddr vs pc133

 

[littlezipp]

It would appear that Crucial prices went up again.

 

[SupermanCK]

Crucial Finally has PC2700.....about time.....still too expensive...

uthiroid - i suggest ddr

 

[Utterman]

Thanks...this makes it about the price I paid last year

 

[ElFenix]

hmmm... 2700? $99.... how hard is it to unlock an AXP?

 

[mrEvil]

Prices too high, prices went up....I have to laugh. Anyone around 5-10 years ago? I've paid $200 for a 4MB upgrade (to 8) and then $220 for 128MB of PC100.

Prices last year fell to levels we will probably never see again. $151 shipped for 512MB of DDR is pretty d@mn cheap still, IMO.

Then again, I also paid >$250 for a 2GB hard drive in the day....

Did I mention I also walked up hill, both ways, to school in a blizzard every day?

SWEET! I just bought the Dell 8100 laptop and was about to buy a 256 stick of ram to add into it... Thanks again!!

mr-evil,

I totally understand your reaction, but my feeling is that these prices are still too high. Last time I bought RAM I bought two 256 soDIMMs for my Dell laptop and it cost me <$60 shipped!

That was a great price! I almost bought more in anticipation of my dual board but I decided to hold off because I wasn't ready to buy the rest.

Oh well.

 

[toant103]

thanx, just bought 64MB of EDO ECC 168 pin for my raid controller

 

[Urinal Mint]

Great pricing on Compactflash, as well

 

[Danman]

It's 10 bones off the regular online price, pretty good.....

 

[ams30gts]

anyone know of any coupon codes for crucial floating around the web? just thinkin of gettin some pc 2700 for my p4s dragon soyo mobo! could use an extra savings.

 

[XCLAN]

i still remember when i payed 21$ each shipped for 12 sticks of kingston pc133 and turned around sold it all for 30$ a sticks and everyone was happy.

 

[mrEvil]

GaretJax - not you specifically. I've seen numerous people here b!tching about how memory prices have gone up. No joke.......simple economics. They make too much supply, prices go down. They stop making it, demand stays the same, prices go up. Pretty simple and these are still low prices.

Yeah, and my parents paid $28,000 for their house, so that should still be the price of houses, milk should cost 40 cents a gallon and you should still be able to get a new Corvette for $5,000. Prices change, get over it. Those $30 256MB DIMMS you so fondly remember are a thing of the past, the manufacturers were selling it AT A LOSS because of excess production. Shall they ramp up production even further and sell it for a dollar a gigabyte just because some people can't face economic reality? Sure, and a month later those "the prices are too high, I want it for a dime per gigabyte" whiners would be complaining that you couldn't buy RAM at any price because every manufacturer went under. Man, face reality, RAM prices are still dirt cheap and I defy anyone of the complainers to come up with a business model where the manufacturers can sell the stuff for 50% of production cost and still stay afloat. Go ahead, when you solve that little puzzle you earn the right to bitch about RAM prices, until then, count your lucky stars that it isn't still $100 per MB, or $25 per meg or even a dollar per meg.

Yeah,
I actually remember paying over $300 for

I was really flying then with 12mb & Win3.1 .

woah, i remember when my parents got us our first real computer... i dont count the trs-80, ps/1 (no hard drive), or the apple IIc...

~$2000 for a 486dx/33, 4MB ram, 130MB Maxtor drive, 14" cheapo monitor, and 1MB trident video card... (no cdrom btw.. first one of those was a funky 1x mitsumi that my bro got that was probably cost a fortune and never really used it... )

that was like in '93-'94.. around then.. thank god prices are much more reasonable...

 

[LuNoTiCK]

The thing is times change. I dont like people comparing ram with what they paid years ago... If hard drive prices, processor prices and the rest of that good stuff went up in price imagine how much of a fit you people would throw.
