| 245574 | 2004-06-18 05:34:00 | + I think the reason why theres such a big demand for any SD ram is due to the fact that SD ram are expensive these day (well.. they all are) but SD are just extremely expensive. I put off buying more Ram because if I felt it would be better for me to get a better PC instead of mucking around with bits that will not be of used 2 years down the track... | ~~~~~ s y ~~~~~ (2054) | ||
| 245575 | 2004-06-18 05:40:00 | Sy, you should've gotten extra RAM three or four years ago. The industry was pumping out RAM, but the customers weren't demanding it... so the price fell. | agent (30) | ||
| 245576 | 2004-06-18 06:12:00 | Yes, I realised, if only.... :( I got this PC after that time, second-hand off course being the student I am. By that time, RAM prices were up. Thank god I brought a 256 for my other computer. This PC came with Win98, but I couldnt resist it, so had no choice but to go to XP. My PC is coping... just... until I get a job :D |

| 245580 | 2004-06-18 08:57:00 | > You guys are serious? You want 32MB SDRAMs? > > > Hmmmm.... Any of you folks in Auckland? Well for me its, because the old computer for the younger kids is struggling and well an extra 32mb should make it a little faster, I mean the price of SDRam is just ridiculus these days, especially the ram for older machines, and down here there just don't seem to be cheap second hand systems at a price I want to pay, actually all computerish stuff down here is a bit dear. Unfortunately I am not in Auckland, as I regularly used to hear from friends there who had got cheap second hand systems, oh well anyway thanks again to Barnabas |

Not really.... You can get 512MB for about $150 -I paid $90 a few months ago so admittedly it has gone up, but it's only about $30 more than decent DDR RAM. I think you should remember those days of old where you were looking at a couple of hundred dollars a megabyte to put it all in perspective. :) At this point some old timers usually pop up and say how expensive 1KB was when they were walking to school in the snow... |
