I'm looking to build a new system in July (I need 1 gig of 3200), but memory is currently rising in price. Does anyone know if it will likely come down in a couple months?

The prices on the 2GB are better in comparison to the 1GB. Its your choice now.


The price on the PQI is amazing! Is it good stuff? The 1 gig pair though is a bit higher than a month ago.

I see the PQI is CAS 4. :(

If you are waiting until July, then wait for the new cpu's to come out. Either way, it'll be DDR2.

There is going to be a change to the A64s?

That shouldn't affect me though. I'm planning to get the Asus A8N5X with only accepts DDR.

Why? You said you were building in July. IIRC, Core 2 Duo (Conroe) will be shipping by then, or shorty after. Jump on the Intel wagon, everyone else will be. :D
