Although I have ram for my current system, I needed a higher end kit for my nephew's build.

Quoted exactly from my FW
post
I actually bought 2 low end motherboards just to get 2 sticks of the 8gb low profile ram.
I got the same ram as a kit for $76.49 (
shellshocker+code) on 5/9 now $
134. I think it was as low as $64, but those days are long gone. Comparison of the
memory.
So I figure.
$68
BIOSTAR A960D+ AM3+ AMD 760G I have a CPU that I can stick in for a HTPC.
$90
BIOSTAR NM70I-847 Intel Celeron 847 1.1GHz 2C/2T
= $158
- $76.5
= $81.5 for the above motherboards.
If you figure $134 for the kit it's $24 for the above motherboards. That's a dozen per board.
I'll use lesser 2x4gb or 2x2gb kits in them since they're not going to be used for anything special. A HTPC and a low power drive server.
The ram is then going to my nephew's new high(er) end build.
