Nope, I have found the will to wait.
In another thread (that really long one on Super Talent 2x1GB kits), back few months ago I was predicting that 2x1GB of DDR2 RAM will be under $50 without rebates before the end of this calendar year. I even got questioned on how I was so sure, and I offered up some proof. My prediction ended up coming true.
I now predict that 2x1GB DDR2 will be under $40 without rebates (already there with rebates) and single 2GB DDR2 will be under $45 without rebates by the end of the calendar year. I don't have as much proof as last time, so my "prediction" is a bit shakier, but the thing is that DDR2 IC pricing has continued to erode, and the ICs that make up the 2GB sticks have eroded the most over this past week. So, even if it doesn't go any cheaper than it is now, we should start seeing more brands available for around this price (maybe with rebates). So, I feel as if I have time to wait for a better deal, or until I need it.
Speaking of needing it... I really don't. Got many gigs of spare RAM from recent rebate deals.
I'm predicting 2GB DDR2 RAM will drop to below $50 without rebates before the end of the year.
