scumbria, "162% premium for lower performance seems quite reasonable to me." Are you speaking about yours & Carl's payment per post here? Ö¿Ö w2

Scumbria, Those numbers that Bilow is using are incorrect. His calculator is broken. ;-) Most people buy name brand memory and most buy from Crucial which happens to be Micron. Since most of you bashers are also Micron lovers, you'll appreciate that ;-) Now here is the cheapest price for PC133 CL2 SDRAM from crucial. crucial.com PC133: 128Mb CL2 = $161.09 Now remember that the PC600 parts used in a dual channel configuration (even with the i840 that uses a slow FSB but even more so in the P4 that uses a 400MHz FSB), are proven faster than anything out there. So PC600 parts have a place in dual channel configurations. dual channel PC600 = 2.4GB/s dual channel PC800 = 3.2GB/s The price that I posted from pricewatch is for name brand PC600 at $199. 199/161= 24% difference. Bilow's numbers do not tell the whole story. RDRAM prices have come way down, and continue to come down every week. They broke the $300 barrier in early September and here we are about a month later and we have the first parts braking the $200 barrier. You will see the first $150 RDRAM parts by P4 intro.
