|
 |
When I bought my G.Skill ARES LP 1600/C9's I gave somewhere between €50-€60 for 2x4. Now they've doubled in price.... WTF!!?
EDIT: In the US the price is ~€50.

Just like the Taiwanese floods that crippled the HDD market and even now, three years later, the prices are ludicrously high. Yeah.. expect RAM to keep getting more expensive - even though only one of the many, many factories was affected by the Hynix fire and that wasn't even that bad either, it reopened for work not long after being shut down. Leave it to capitalism to continue finding a way to fuck the consumer >_>

Tell me about it 
Ram died in my nab box and I looked at the prices and thought "well that can wait until after Christmas"
Scary stuff

I'm glad I managed to turn in my 2x G.Skill Ripjaws X 8 gigabiggies for two g.skill ares cl11 2133 mhz before the prices skyrocketed.

I was thinking about getting a second 2x4 set of the exact same model (G.Skill ARES Low Profile 1600/C9-9-9) to get 16GB and use a 4-6GB RAM-disk to install the most used programs for ultra-speed (it loads the RAM-disk at boot, then saves it at shutdown/hibernate).
No way am I going to do that unless I can get someone in the US to ship it to me.

Btw, does anybody have some old SIMM's lying around?? Looking for a 64-128MB SIMM (EDO) 60ns stick (preferrably a 128MB).
I'm going to use it with my Blizzard MK-IV 68030/MMU/68882 Amiga 1200 Accelerator card (I swapped the old crystal with a 55.5MHz crystal) and I only have a 32MB stick.

imho. 8gb should be more than fine for anything gaming for the next 1-3 years. especially with ssd, it has become a lot less of an issue (swapping file hd>ram).
