Memory Pricing Guide |
Weekly Memory Prices - Week of February 3, 2003 - Page 2By Vangie Beal February 4, 2003SDRAM prices have started to settle back down, showing fewer price changes this week. Overall only three modules dropped in price; PC133 CAS2 128-MB, PC133 ECC 128-MB, and PC133 CAS3 256-MB fell by $3, $2, and $1 respectively. Despite the limited number of price drops, we also have only one price increase to report, that being a $4 increase on PC100 CAS2 128-MB. This is in direct contrast to previous weeks, where PC133 prices spiked quite noticeably. Continuing the trend of the last month or so, we see PC2100 dropping down in price. 128-MB and 256-MB PC2100 are both down by $2, but the good news comes with a nice $10 savings on PC2100 512-MB (down to $65.00). PC2400 price remain unchanged and the other notable price change was on PC3200 512-MB which dropped $7 to $98. PC800 is once again on the rise, with PC800 512-MB up $15 to $215 and PC800 ECC 256-MB increasing $5 to $87. A couple of RDRAM modules fell in price but the change was only a dollar savings. Week after week there seems to be only very small price changes, but while the dollar savings here and there don't seem like much - over time it really does add up. A perfect example is the previously mentioned PC2100 512-MB. While the current price sits at $65, one year ago you would have forked out $162 - so in the end I guess we probably should all appreciate those small cuts a bit more. If you are planning a memory upgrade in the near future, please be sure to verify prices on the vendor's website, and review their shipping and returns policy before you buy.
We'd like to take this opportunity to assure you that SharkyExtreme has no affiliation with any vendor listed in our guide, but our memory price charts do take more than just the basic dollar amount into consideration. Here are just a few examples to highlight some of the many things we keep in mind when compiling a price guide - which may translate into the price you see in our guide being different than one you find:
Since we don't have a direct line to every vendor doing business online, so if you know of a company selling quality products at decent prices that isn't making our price guide, feel free to drop us a line with the vendors URL, so we can check them out as well! Feedback (of any kind) on the Weekly Memory Prices is always read and appreciated! Until next week - happy upgrading!
