Moved from Cyber deal section.....This isnt a deal

CyberFed · Apr 10, 2002

come on everyone in this forum would take 2 GB or ram if they could afford it, of course if you can afford that then your system already probably rocks heh

ThePunkGeek · Apr 10, 2002

people who could afford it would pay

paulc87 · Apr 10, 2002

heck anyone could afford it i would sell my car for it

RickyTwoGuns · Apr 10, 2002

thats a crazy price

Kato · Apr 10, 2002

i will even buy you a stick if i have the cash

Cooler666 · Apr 10, 2002

well at least 2GB sticks are available.

wait another two years and see them at 1/100 of that price

Overclocker550 · Apr 13, 2002

id just get the 512mb stick on pricewatch for a fraction of the 1Gb stick!

JaY_III · Apr 13, 2002

who would buy this?

Same people that run SCSI 3
With HDD going for upto and over $10 000, a 1GB stick for $1000 is cheap. Rember the people that have the SCSI HDD run RAIDS, so put a FEW $10 000 HDD in it.

People in the server market.

Read the front page to see how terrible that would be

See folks, the more RAM you have, the slower you go. Sure it's only a slight decrease but with big sticks you;ll be running like a Z80!!

(hee hee um whatever

)
No

please

Overclocker550 · Apr 13, 2002

uh.....scsi cost only a few hundred

TheJackamo · Apr 13, 2002

Hey guys, sorry to say (and this is true), my uncle just happens to be named David Sun, and that just happens to be the same David Sun that is the owner of Kingston Tech. along with John Tu (why do you think i live in irvine?). I mean, i have thanksgiving with his entire family every year (I'm eating with a millionare!!!), and went to his son's (my cousin's) wedding just two years back. Man, I just love telling people that! Oh, and on a sidenote: in the first post, the variant 'KVR...' in the beginning of the part number means that the module is made by the Kingston department 'ValueRam' (hence 'Kingston ValueRam'), just to prove what i said above.

NASsoccer · Apr 14, 2002

if i had the money and the space i would surely take it. But since i had neither i think you can count me out. Plus i would want a little better performance than 2100

most motherboards wouldn't accept this RAM anyways. Too many chips.

ok so i went a little overboard, but
$2300 for a 181 GB Ultra 160 SCSI is still very pricy...
or $1200 for a 10 000 RPM 80GB Ultra 160 is still up thier in price, but 4.x ns seek time sure is fast.

put 10 SCSI drives in your system like that and watch the price tag FLY

notquiterite · Apr 15, 2002

i would love to have a 2gb ram chip but its just cheaper to buy it in mutiple chips

rpckvv · Apr 15, 2002

unfortunately most motherboards wont accept chips as big as that...

i think those 2gb chips are intended for those running large servers, etc etc, not for regular gaming desktops

i found 1GB chips for $381

who will pay $6000 for 2GB of DDR ram?
