That's still absolutely ridiculous. It's probably an out-dated page from when 1GB chips first hit the market.

*goes off to google CAD*

Canadian Dollars.

So obviously, it's price in CAD is going to be more than USD

Not CAD the software for architects and engineers. CAD = Canadian dollars. It should be abbreviated CDN.

Even just under 900dollars for that ram seems rediculous.

See my earlier post. RAM like that should not go for more than $350.

Hmm, that makes more sense, but don't computer parts get cheaper as time goes on? :confused:

No, it shouldn't. "CAD" is the accepted international abbreviation for Canadian Dollars. Just like "USD" for U.S. Dollars and "GBP" for Great Britain Pound.

I work in Finance. We send a couple billion around the world every few days. Whole lot of stuff that has "CAD", nothing that has "CDN".

Rather odd, I was born there and lived there for 20 years, and was always taught CDN was the proper abbr. for the term "Canadian." (in general, mind you - whatever the finance world wants to use is fine by me)

275 a BJ from guys is stupid.
I can get a full service from a girl for 250.

Oh Oh. I've said too much already.
DAMN!

I sure wish there was a way to go back and change that! :eek:
