The RAM is so cheap...

Guitar Gamer · July 17th, 2001, 04:10

Man up here in Canada ... 128 top of the line SDRAM only costs about 75$... I'm thinking of just taking my CPU all the way up to 512 RAM.... Any-who... what's the cheapest RAM you've ever seen...

Speaking of low prices, what the hell's going on with Intel and AMD? I noticed (to my shock) that a P4 1.4 Ghz was going for $230, and a T-Bird 1.4 Ghz was going for $240! Since when was Intel cheaper than AMD?! Don't tell me I need to switch mainboards again

kairi00,
actually I got it from a friend who does sell these stuff to his friends

of the names you mentioned, I only recognize ATIC. They're usually quite cheap, but not the absolute cheapest if you look carefully...

Guitar Gamer,
good luck. mind you i bought mine a few weeks ago, and you know how much RAM prices fluctuates over short periods.
