Memory prices are going down.
I have one question only - why would a budget machine need 512 Mb Ram? Because that is what they say - for a budget machine.
Think further, you can get 256 DDR at newegg with heat spreader and PC-2700 for like $80. And more importantly you can use it in KT333 motherboards that are coming.

just remember this is 2100 ram that is know (it says so on their website) not to OC well. so you are comparing apples to oranges. and the price of $145 is because it is 2700ram

if your not an OCer or plan to get a KT333 chipset then this is the ram for you. :)

I shoulda phrased it better. I'm definately going to overclock, but I don't think the speed increase justifys the $30. According to Thugsrook's thread in OC forum, difference between 200ddr and 133ddr is less than 5% gaming wise. The Gigabyte 8srx can put ram at a slower speed than fsb if necessary. I certainly hope this ram could run 140-150mhz because that's probably aroudn what I'll get witha 1.6a. If not, that fine also. :D I'm just still in shock with the ram prices i guess. It went up so much since last summer. While i was researching in google aobut this ram, I came across a thread dated last august that had that same weekend 512mb basic pc2100 sale. Excepty it was for $55!:Q.

This is the thread on teh comparison between 133/166/200 made by Thugsrook

mushkin is high qaulity, but this ram is rated cas 2.5. Get the cas 2.0 stick .... its 169 but also has a heat sink.

But for a basic non overclocker, this is an excelent deal.

Almost bought one.. had to stop myself.
