Seriously, its been 7 years now since this stuff has been out. The price has not moved the entire time??
I have a Dell 8250 with a 3.06Ghz Pentium IV. I have that "Red Headed Stepchild" of the Memory world PC1066 RAMBUS.
I'm looking for a kit (2 sticks) of 512Mb to make a total of 1,024Mb. The price is STILL around $400 after all this time? Why? I don't understand this. It's been 7 years, shouldn't the price have gone down at least a little? Even people on E-Bay are selling this stuff for $400 a pair. I don't even care if it's Non-ECC or ECC... I can't beleive this costs this much still? Why is newer, faster Ram in larger sizes cheaper?
I'm not going to spend $400 upgrading when I can simply buy a Dual or even Quad core system with 2gb of Ram for that around that price.
