Default RAM Prices All Time Low!


Hi Friends,

This is not much of a news but it gave me a surprise. I am from New Delhi and RAM prices here have fallen very deep this week. Just 1 hour ago, i upgraded my acer laptop's ram to Kingston 1GB 667 MHZ DDR-2 RAM for Rs 1500 Flat!
2 months ago, when i checked the prices the dealears it was Rs 4200 for the same! Desktop memory is also going low as Rs 900-1100 for the same config for desktops.

I thought may be its useful for some people.

Thanks!

We are not using garbage.For using that we must should have supported motherboard.

Here we are talking about upgrading RAM..on our old PC.

I may not have accurate information, i'm sorry. But the value ram series from Kingston is selling at ultra low price. You'll be able to buy between Rs 1000-1200. These prices vary on dealer by dealer basis.

Yaar whats there to fight like that? That filthy garbage etc stuff. I'm just giving an information. I have buyed it from Digital IT Solutions ,Nehru place. Its a laptop memory module, i repeat, its a DDR-2 667 MHZ Kingston 1 GB module for 1500 RS. You can confirm it from dealer, ph 01126285712. I am not very sure about desktop prices but they are mostly less then notebook ram prices, dont they? Please correct me if i am wrong. And also please note its from the ValueRAM series from kingston.

Alright alright bro, shanti. I meant, why aren't people buying the fastest
ram around instead of these makes?

When 1142/1100/800 Mhz are available, with the latter coming at very
reasonable prices, why opt for these?

Does it make sense to save 1000 and get that same rotten performance?
That's what I was wondering.

People buying new PC must be buying fast RAM..if they are not wrongly guided by vendors.

I have a old acer laptop that supports only 400 MHZ module. I am even running the 667 MHZ in 400 MHZcompatibility mode. Whats the point of higher speed for ppl like me? I told this just to let those people know who really need this kind of memory modules. If you have a new high performance rig that can afford higher speeds, then go ahead and buy. Then, This post is not for you buddy. Ok. No Offences

DDR1 is still costly.1gb ddr 400Mhz module will set you back be around 2-2.5k depending upon the Brand.
