I bought this kit like, last year for the system I'm using now. Back then I paid like 80 for it. It was the same price a few months ago to. Well a guy at work wants me to build him a system and I Was looking at memory and kept thinking I Was looking at the wrong stats cause it was so cheap then realized it was the pair I bought

I guess the chip crisis has passed then. Last year there was a significant shortage of memory chips and it caused the market prices to rocket like crazy. $48 for 2x2GB G.Skill? That's friggin' insane! DEFINITELY buying my shit from Newegg Very Happy

...newegg doesn't ship outside the U.S. lol The only real reason I enjoy living here...the computer hardware haha.

sIn at one point was going to wire me a shit ton of money and buy his whole system here then have it shipped out and was still going to be cheaper than to buy it all over there.

Don't worry Sabin, here in Europe they just flip the $ to € as usual, even though the Euro is now a stronger currency than the US Dollar has been in two decades Razz

Still, €45 for a set like that is really fucking cheap for our standards. My kit cost me €50 back in January, that's how long RAM prices have been this low already Smile

I think I have this same kit! Great RAM very stable. But I bought it for $110 from Newegg at the end of 2009 Sad
