Ram Prices dropping
- Thread starter l33t-krew
- Start date
i doubt prices will be dropping anytime soon, i mean just look at how low they are already?
in regards to 2 gig modules, i would not expect any or much of a drop.
personally i don't see why you would need more than 4gigs of ram, unless you require it specifically. So 2x2 vs 1x4 comes down to preference and overclocking the ram. I would imagine 2x2 would be easier to overclock stable at the very limits of the ram, as apposed so 1x4. But having said that it is not impossible to get very good OC on the ram with 1x4 and have seen some with good OC with such configuration. Would also wait and see what others have to say on this matter. AMD systems did not like running more than 2 sticks of ram before, but intel platform currently does not have such limits.
and your signature is too long, i believe is 4 lines maximum. look in the sticky for guidance.

I'm gutted, back in september I paid about £170 for 2GB DDR2 Geil PC5300 and last week Ipaid nearlt half for exactly the same RAM.

Could this be linked to a switch in production to DDR3 I wonder, and manufacturers panicking about their stock levels?

Dont be nasty
My pentium 4 has done me nicely. It has never given me any trouble at all. It runs everything I want.
Still going to upgrade to quad core.
The only reason im getting rid of this chip is that it used to get me 1900 in 3DMark06 cpu score. Cant get it above 1300 on same clocks.
I bet its this Zalman 9700 Aero.
P.s Im lapping my CPU today look out for the review
Aye! I sold mine for £170 about a month ago.WJA96 said:Well, look on the bright side - you could have shelled out £215+delivery for some Crucial Anniversary RAM at Christmas that I'm currently informed is worth about £100, or possibly even less
Trouble is I bought some Crucial 2GB Ballistix Tracer (with LEDs), DDR2 PC2-8000 (2x1GB) 5-5-5-15 but in reality it does 4-4-4-12 @ 500mhz
Anyway it was listed at around £350ish a month or 2 ago & now you can buy it new for £190, mine only cost £175 2 month ago though, I'm gonna sell mine & get 2 x 2gb of Patriot I think depending on how well they overclock.
