Well the question now is do I get another stick of this stuff for $69 shipped to go with the stick I got for over $100 from NewEgg a few weeks ago

 

[tnguyen3in1]

Holy buckets, down another $1 today, $68 shipped

Looks like memory prices are continuing to slide...

DDR spot prices for 256Mbit products were sent down 4.1% on Wednesday to an average of US$2.87 and has the market worried that prices will collapse to US$2, reported the Chinese-language Economic Daily News.

I'll bite when it hits $60 shipped. I just bought a 9700 Pro, so the mem is gonna have to get just a tad bit cheaper before I buy.

 

[SpideyCU]

You'll be getting close. $66 + $0.50 shipping right now.

Someone said this would NEVER hit $60?

 

[corinthos]

I'm going to say it'll never hit $50

If the spot market does fall from $2.87 to around $2, $50 is in the ballpark. Every day it gets harder and harder to resist these memory deals, but I'll keep waiting. 2 weeks from now we'll probably be hearing complaints like "Wahhh!! I can't believe I bought at $65..." or "Man, it went from $62 to $58 last night, will they give me a price adjustment?"

Just ordered mine for $66.50. Thanks!!

I did a little calculation. Assuming dram capacities are following moore's law and assuming that the memory market gets as bad as it was early last year when I bought 256MB of crucial DDR266 @ $23, then the price of 512MB should fall to $30. Don't rely on my figures though because I'm just making wild extrapolations.

Finally took the plunge and did it for 66.50...i might miss some more downside, but i rather have it now then wait for it to go back up.

 

[ScoobMaster]

Editted to reflect price accuracy again.

I'm sorry I didn't have the thread updated for a week - I was away on a business trip.

 

At that allstarshop its $65

 

[Pothead]

allstarshop has it for 65.95 + shipping

 

[gothaggis]

well it's down to $65.50 on googlegear now....seems to be going down about .50 a day.

 

[htyei]

64 bucks at www.us-depot.com and its free shipping, and since I live in california, no tax.


The only question is, these guys have no reseller ratings?

I think your pretty close, by the end of march I see sub $50 on pc2700, hopefully crucial!

 

[gothaggis]

Does this stuf oc cause im buildin a new comp. I was getting an nforce2 board. Should i go with this? Or pc3200 or what? Whats the difference with infinion and samsung?

 

[unclebud]

both are good memory...
guess i won't be posting the simpletech memory deal (i was thinking 256mb 2100 ddr for $35.72 was decent, guess not)
o well

 

[gothaggis]

woah...it jumped up $1 last night..now it's back to $65.50

 

[Research]

Which one is better: Crucial 512 DDR333 PC2700 memory or Kingston (same specs)?

How do they work together? (I have already bougt crucial for my system with Intel D845PEBT2 mobo and P4 2.66)

Do you guys know who makes the chips? On the chip it self mine says "KINGSTON". I know kingston doesn't make the chip. I'm hoping that it's infineon but have no idea.
