RAM Prices

Bah. When I bought my MacBook at the start of July, 2GB of RAM for it was 180quid at Crucial.com. I didn’t buy it as I thought I would see how I went. Mid/end of July RAM was 140, I didn’t buy ‘cos I wanted to wait until after I was paid. I got paid, I looked at the price, now 160quid, I didn’t buy ‘cos it was only 140quid 2 weeks ago. I wait a week, 170, another week or 2, now 180, last week 200, now 214! Arse. I refuse to pay 216 quid. Apparently RAM prices will be high until the end of October. So, I’m on 512MB till November at least.

On a happier note, however, John Lewis have now sent me my free wireless mouse (a mighty mouse no less). So, Apple wireless keyboard and mouse up on Ebay next week.

    Kinston works out as 189 for 2xKTA-MB667/1G from SMC direct, or 180 inc delivery from Dabs.

    Scan have Corsair Value RAM for £70.49 (http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/ProductInfo.asp?WebProductID=353418) but I have heard bad things about system stability with that. I know nothing about the Kingston thought TBH. I think its a dual-channeling thing with the RAM needing to be perfectly matched and the Corsair Value not being hight enough quality.

    I just wish I bought the Crucial for 140! Down to 197 today mind…
