explains the current DDR2 prices
Fast computers breed slow, lazy programmers
The price of reliability is the pursuit of the utmost simplicity. It is a price which the very rich find most hard to pay.

Modern Ram, makes an old overclocker miss BH-5 and the fun it was
indeed, A couple of year ago i bought high end module's 512mb where the bigest you could get at the time. I bought 2 for 199 a piece ( corsair bh5 ) here in holland but nowadays you see a 2x1024 mb kit wich is very common for a price up to 700-800 euro's. Now i aint saying its all their fault because the transition from gulden to euro also caused a rise in price but it could never have been that much.
now i'm getting all my stuff in germany, its still expensive but cheaper until they get higher taxes next year

Didn't this have something to do with Rdram also . We know they conspired against rambus in favor of ddr. Its really a none issue to me when the world stands by and lets the oil cartel fix oil prices by production cuts. When the say justic is blind they truely mean it.
