Very expensive, i paid close to £200 for a set like that once.. and i sent them back because they were faulty but got lost in the post apparently 
Memory has literally never been this cheap.
Now, of course stuff has comes down in price as time goes by, but what I mean is that the 'standard'/'enthusiast' memory configurations have never been this cheap.
Current 'standard' amount of RAM is 2gig (£27), with enthusiasts opting for 4gig (£58) and extremists going with 8gig. Go back a couple years to when 1gig was standard and 2gig was for flash gits, you were talking like £100+ / £200 respectively
What I'm driving at is that historically, I've typically paid a helluva lot more for a RAM upgrade than I do these days. Typically most of the RAM I've bought has cost me around £70-£140 for nothing too excessive, whereas now you can get what is a large amount of ram (4gig) for under £60.
Problem I've got now of course is that I've filled all 4 slots with PC5400C4, so no room to drop in any of that bargain PC6400 doing the rounds
