I can't believe how expensive memory is now days. Atleast double what it was earlier this year! Man I remember when you could pick up 256 megs of PC 2100 for around $25.00. Now your lucky if you can find it for under $45.00! Most are selling Crucial for around $60.00 or $70.00! I guess I should have upgraded when prices were low :(.

Memory trades like the stock market, it will go down soon.
 
I remember when ram was around a dollar a megabite. I was a couple years ago, but we got spoiled over the last 6 months.

I know I remember paying $125 + tax for 128 mb of pc100... man thats sickning...:eek:
 
memory prices are crazy, it's amazing how much the price can fluctuate, if you're willing to wait for it to come down you can make a real saving on it.

I'm still waiting for them to go high enough for me to unload all this pc66 I invested in ages ago :)
 
It is pretty crazy how they fluctuate so much. I remember paying $350.00 for a 256 meg stick of Corsair pc 133 ram! WOW! That's nuts! then the last time I bought ram I paid $32.00 with S&H for a 256 meg stick of Crucial PC2100. What a difference. Prices have been up for a few months now. I'm getting pretty tempted to pick up another stick. But don't want to pay so much. I know if I buy now prices will drop in a week :). That's just the way it is.
