Memory Prices - Week of June 21, 2004 - Page 2By Vangie Beal June 22, 2004SDRAMSDRAM prices keep on track this week, as we have only two price changes to report in this area. PC133 ECC 512-MB jumped to $89, an increase of $3, while PC133 CAS3 256-MB went down $2 to $52. DDR SDRAM prices are more of the usual mixed bag of goodies, showing both random savings and increases, depending on the exact memory type you're shopping for. PC3200 256-MB and 512-MB are both down $2 this week and PC2700 512-MB dropped $3 to $67. The only other price break worth mentioning is a $5 drop on PC4000 512-MB, which now sits at $146. The biggest price increases on DDR SDRAM were found on PC2100 256-MB which is up $4 to $25, and PC4200 512-MB, up $5 to $176. Most RDRAM modules remain unchanged in price for the week, with the exceptions being PC800 512-MB which dropped $5 to $180, and PC1066 256-MB (232 pin), up $4 to $102. In addition, we also found that a slight $2 jump on PC800 256-MB. Overall, it's another hit and miss kind of week. Price fluctuations don't follow any real pattern, and consumers aren't benefiting from any price wars or overstock sales. Depending on your upgrade needs you may find yourself having to either shell out a couple dollars extra or you may be able to save up to $5. While those savings may seem small indeed, those few dollars saved on the memory can always be spent on faster shipping options for that must have memory upgrade. If saving money is the big issue for you, then be sure to check out the vendor website and see if you can nab a good shipping deal, which could end up saving you additional cash.
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!
