485909 2006-09-21 02:55:00 Actually, the DSE prices for a 1GB DDR2 533MHz SODIMM ram is $298 (thats the 'dse' brand as well. I have no idea who makes those chips, and so I don't know whether they are high quality ram, or just generic stuff.

Ive been looking at prices online, and prices for most ram seems to be around the $200 - $230 (gst inclusive) price range.

So unless the DSE ram is high quality stuff, there is quite a significant price difference.
If it is high quality ram, then I think the dse price is fair.

Can anyone enlighten me DSE ram IS any better than say hynix, legend etc???
Or is it about the same, and thus quite expensive for what it is?

Thanks
The last time I brought ram from DSE it was Kingston ram

Since the dse ram is kingston, then the price is good, as that seems to be around the online price of kingston ram.
The reason we wern't sure about DSE prices was because the price per MB for their 1GB ram is quite a bit higher than for the same speed and brand 512MB ram. ($0.25/MB for 512MB and $0.29/MB for 1GB, approximately)
