i'd like to request that you tell me where to get cheap 1333 ddr3 - oem - stock voltage only.

$10/gb would be ideal since that's what i bought all my brand name (hp) ram at.

I need to bump some machines up so 2GB would work maybe even 4gb dimms.

$20 for 2GB DDR3 ; $40 for 4GB - brand name (kingston non value) for instance. no overvolt junk.

I've been having problems sourcing them at these prices.

DDR2 i've got coming out of my ears! lol. heck dude i've got stock voltage g.skill 800 that will do 1066 (depends on mobo) with or without voltage increase - has two evil leds' if you want to trade 4 x 2 gb for ddr3 i'll do that straight up.

You are comparing historical pricing with current pricing. If you compare current DDR3 pricing to current DDR2 pricing, you will see that you cannot get anywhere close to $10/GB DDR2.
