Too rich for my blood!

I remember the good old days when you could get 2gigs of good DDR for $100.

edit: This post is regarding DDR2 though, sorry for any confusion.

I remember the bad old days when I got 1gig of good DDR for $400 lol. 🙁

Nice ram though, I had a chance to get these for cheaper with no MIR from Newegg about a month ago but ended up getting the non-Tracers for $10-15 less. Those lights woulda looked nice with my new Nine Hundred. Nice build btw NeoRecon, we have a lot of similar components. 🙂

But this RAM has been steadily rising in price and consistently going OOS. They're Crucial so you're guaranteed to get Micron D9 ICs so there's no guessing game when going with other brands. Little bit of premium for peace of mind I guess. 🙂

Thanks! I only do a build once in a great while (last one was 4 years ago) so I try to configure them to last a while..a bit easier on the pocketbook.

btw - is DD2 backwards compatible with DDR mobos?

I remember paying $90 for one megabyte in the form of a 30 pin SIMM.
