Damn, will try to grab RAM first during the holiday then, better don't bet on the price rise or drop after the CNY.

Is this price drop for all ram including kingston hyperX ?

Any chances of getting 1066MHz ddr2 ram?wat d price?

maybe dell will drop their price coz dell using hynix ram....

or maybe they will offer free ram upgrade like they always do...

Goes to lawyers/judges/state goverments with what little leftover to fund things that may or may not benefit public(US only).

Probably not much drop yet, usually performance ram will only drop price after budget/value ram has stabilised after a price drop.

Yeah, but probably have to wait a few months before it actually happens.

heh still remember the time where ddr400 rised sky high.

yet another reason besides the demand of RAM due to Vista which I thought the only one ..

Yeah I was pretty shocked that the price was going UP instead of down when I went to get my second piece of Corsair VS DDR400.

edit: That was about a year or more back, can't remember too clearly.

I think that has more to do with supply/demand rather than the price correctin due to the lawsuit. Now ppl moving to ddr667 and above oredi, cos very few new boards use ddr400..

alot of commercial pentium4 boards still use ddr400... last year the price rocketed up to 180 for a 512mb stick?

IMO, the low demand of Vista is because of the high price of RAM. To run Vista smoothly u need 1GB RAM. Unless the 1GB RAM price drop to Rm60-70 per module. Nobody will want to move to Vista.

On the other hand, Vista can drive high capacity RAM module like 1GB down to mainstream. This will increase the manufacturer production capacity, thus reducing the cost overall.


So it is a chicken and egg here.

I am waiting for 1GB module to get below RM80. I thinking to get 6 pieces of 1GB RAM for my 2 Pentium D machines.

so is the current price reflects the true price???

Im praying the price will stay low until at least early march. BY then i already have money to upgrade to 2GB-4GB but that only IF the shop wanna sell the ram. Probably they keep their stock until it rocket up back right?

Thundermatch said that the price for DDR333 has increased by RM10 after CNY. Better get your RAMs soon.

i disagree.

i would say low demand of Vista is due to many factors
1. it's more than just RAM, it's entire system altogether
2. people are using Windows XP fine, why should they incur additional cost to upgrade in the first place?
3. and upgrading to something that's new (usually buggy, you know Microsoft) with possible compatibility issues and also runs much slower than the previous Windows.

nah even with the high ram capasity, you wont be able to run vista smoothly w/o a good processor and gc..all the more reasons to stay with xp =/

I see many ppl are waiting to switch over to this vista but compatibility and the price (600+ for vista ultimate) still make ppl doubting for awhile ..

I'll say vista will take over XP in over a year (as every m$ product did previously) and probably faster as more Dx10 cards rolls out

omg...i want my money back...
