Crucial DDR just got even cheaper!!

[WildeBeast]

no, 2400/8/2 is 150. 2700 would be 166

muuuuust........buuuuuy........raaaaam

yes
Think these will go even lower, or would it be a good time to buy now?

 

[WildeBeast]

The problem I have with buying now has nothing to do with money. I am worried that DDR is either in a transitional stage or it is transitional in and of itself. I would buy PC2400, but what will newer motherboards use? With PC133 you could have used the same stick since it came out until now and beyond. I would only but 256MB of DDR now, unless you actually need more. I have found that with 128 I run low on resources, with 256 I always have about 40MB free whether I am running nothing or running everthing, windows sucks it up. With 512 I don't notice any increase, windows just throws more stuff in there, which could be good but is hard to notice. I am no ram expert, but I never buy loads of it at atime, because tech changes too frequently. will prices go down? Probably. will they decrease enough to make you pissed that you paid a whopping 60 for the crucial 256? I doubt it sincerely. Sure, buy a stick of PC2100 for $56 and be happy, and don't worry if it isn't the intention of the silicon gods to keep PC2100 DDR in mind in the future. Good upgrading to all!

I think DDR is here for a while. I'm hoping that with the next few AMD cores we'll see more of that promised improvement as they can be designed with DDR in mind.

 

[WildeBeast]

I just hope that Bios revs alone will improve perforamce a bit, like when the KG7 appears, I want that one with soft menu

 

[crzyc]

isn't there a webpage where you can buy ddr from crucial that is being resold?

 

[WildeBeast]

the ram manufacturers have adopted 166, sure, but that important onmly to OCers unless motherboards also support it...which means chips support it at spec, or they allow tweaking to push the system bus up and the multioplier down tro stay even....

 

[yellowperil]

Buy now or wait? I might build a system with a DDR mobo in late August. Any chance RAM prices will go up like they did last year (granted there was the earthquake in Taiwan)? If I decide not to build, what would be the resale value of a 256MB PC2100 CL2.5 Crucial stick in August?

(Correct: There is no CL 3 DDR)

The "resold" RAM that is offered changes by the day, if not the hour.
Best to call.
