DDR2 Pricing Question

[Josh123]

Our IT department is thinking of upgrading our Dell machines to 1GB of DDR2. We aren't sure if we should buy in bulk or little at a time. Does anyone know if the price of DDR2 is going to rise or go down in the next few months??? Thanks.

After AM2 became more mainstream, DDR2 prices went through the roof. I remember paying $65 shipped for 1GB kits of Corsair VS DDR2-533 and 667.

It's a guess, but I would imagine prices settling down in the coming months. I freakin' hope so anyways. Current prices are really high, IMO.

ddr2 800 was a new product....price was/is high.

the other stuff though...sheesh 🙂

quite surprising given all the sources that said amd migration would lower prices.
