beware for new haswell machines: the voltage of the ram is now 1.35v. ram that need 1.5v (common ones that can be found in the local market) are very likely to cause troubles later (over heating, damage to the cpu integrated memory controller (due to the increased potential difference), and increased battery use).

damn.. it's in the specs of the cpu :/

ivy bridge is the 3rd generation? i mean since haswell is using lower voltage ram.. so old ram price should drop right?

haha hope so smile.gif but with the recent lack of supply of ram chips, it might not be happening.

what usually happens the pattern that i'm looking at since ddr 1 to ddr 2 conversion.. and so is ddr 2 to ddr 3.. it will start to drop very low (MYR 50 - 70) then will go up.. so this is the case since they phase it out then will be low on stocks .. since newer ram will have more attention.. but of course the newer ram will be higher priced til there is quite high demand~

yes sure. however, i still prefer high power ram, because they should be more efficient in terms of performance.
