Why aren't the ram cheap in cananda??

[Alfred]

Most shops in toronto area are asking more than $CDN130 for a 128MB of pc133 ram, that is more then USD$86!! I just check pricewatch, the lowest PC133 256MB price is $90 only, what's the problem??

I almost never buy from stores, always look at the net for the cheapest and order there.

I noticed the same problem, I paid $89.99 plus the sales tax for a total
of $103 for a generic 64 meg dimm! Someone smack me please.

NCIX.com has 128MB of PC133 RAM for $98 dollars right now.

Here's a direct link: PC133 SDRAM 128MB 168PIN

I see ram for under $100 all the time around TO. Go around the shops in Chinatown or UofT. These are generic brands mind you, with only a 30 day warranty. But if you want name brand, you can go to PCCanada and get Microns for $110 a stick.

I got two sticks of Infineon CAS2 PC133 128MB for $119*2. I thought that was a good price. Take into consideration the exchange rate and it's alright.

man, that's not alright, as i said, it costs *only* $90 to get a piece of 256MB in states, the price I mentioned are tax excluded, so, it sucks.

RAM for $89

This is the cheapest I've seen.
Also have Micron for $109.

As for pccanada they advertise Infineon/Micron that will do cas2 upto 142 but its actually cas3.

To go with Micron chip cas3 or buy from crucial all Micron cas2 $92us all totaled about $180Cdn or $60 more?

ncix.com has corsair cas2 but no price drop yet so the price is absurd.

<<Why aren't the ram cheap in cananda??>>

Well its because our government is suck and stole all our money

 

[mrbios]

I don't know why the ram aren't cheap in cananda, but here in Canada the RAM is fairly cheap, such as NCIX and Anitec that were already mentioned. Sorry if this sounds a bit arrogant, but I found his grammer an speling erorrs amusng. Heh heh.

I buy my stuff from AMK computers in Burnaby (Vancouver) BC.

It's about $100cdn for 128MB of Infineon PC133 RAM right now.
Not as cheap as the US, but not that bad either.

 

[GL]

Alfred, I thought it costs $90 for 128MB in the U.S?

[Alfred]

well, i have just check pricewatch, it seems that it costs $90 something.

 

[sandorski]

You need to look around. My bro checked ram prices at London Drugs Tues(yesterday). They wanted $150ish for 128mb PC100 and $250ish PC133!!? He just chuckled about it, for he can get it at wholesale.
