2GBs RAM on the cheap?!

[Recursion]

Ohai,

Can anyone find me mega cheap 2GBs of DDR2 RAM? xD I've looked but I want other people to aswell LOL.

Cheap as in £0 - £25 ;D

4 slots on the motherboard, 667MHz, 800MHz or 1066MHz.

Thanks.

Not really gonna happen unless you're willing to go with ebay.

RAM is expensive at the moment.

Could try ebuyer / amazon as they are normally quite cheap on computers and electronics. Also ebay as above said

How come? :S

[Markeh]

I say eBay. Just got 2 x 256Mb sticks of DDR 400 RAM for £2.50. (INCLUDING POSTAGE :D)

There were some job lots of loads of RAM sticks for around £15, may be worth a look.

How come? :S

A manufacturer went bankrupt early last year causing a big shortage, hence the prices more than doubling.

Which manufacturer?

Which manufacturer?
A german company called Qimonda (http://www.qimonda.com/).
You'd think the likes of Crucial and Kingston would have enough supply going, but apparently not?

Got a 1GB stick for just under £10 from eBuyer once, doesn't look like it's still there.

I would have thought they'd be making their own RAM. I suppose all good things come to an end.

Lol, companys like Crucial and Kingston don't actually manufacture the chips.

There is/was only something like 3 big companies that made most of the chips. Quimonda was the second largest chip manufacturer.

The price increase is being caused by the transition from DDR2 to DDR3, just like DDR ram is expensive, DDR2 is becoming expensive.

[Stephen!]

DDR3 is even more expensive. So everyone loses out.
