Memory Prices - Week of August 18, 2003 - Page 2By Vangie Beal August 19, 2003SDRAMThis week, the price of some PC100 128-MB modules have moved, with the CAS2 variety going up $4 to $26, while PC100 CAS2 ECC 128-MB rose $4 to $34. Other listed price changes include a couple of $1 ups and downs, but little else worth mentioning. We all know SDRAM is long overdue for some price drops, but for this all we have is the knowledge that consumers looking to upgrade SDRAM won't pay any more for it. Lately, the majority of our price fluctuations have shown up in the DDR SDRAM side, and this week is no exception. Unfortunately, most modules in our list have gone up slightly in price for the week. PC2700 128-MB and PC2700 256-MB are up a couple dollars each, while PC2700 512-MB jumped $6 to $67. In between those we also see $3 increases on PC2100 256-MB and PC3200 512-MB. This week in RDRAM, we see $1 and $2 price increase amongst several zero price changes. While not having additional price increases on RDRAM is a good sign, the $4 price drop on PC800 512-MB is an even better one. We can all hope to see a couple more of those price drops next week. Prices are holding steady overall, and for those of you who didn't make that upgrade last week, no worries as it doesn't look like you'll be paying much more for it, unless of course, you had your eye on select DDR modules, such as PC2700 512-MB. With such sporadic price changes this week consumers won't be in for too big a shock when making their memory upgrade, but the lack of price drops have pretty much ruled out those spur of the moment "its such a good buy" purchase.
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!
