For the size it is a great price.
Not sure about Crucial though.

Opinions on Crucial SSD?

Crucial is a good brand, with a history of reliability when it comes to SSDs. The 240GB M500 is really mid/low performance (not really any better than the M4 at that size), and so if you want the fastest, then I wouldn't buy it, but if you want a cheap SSD that should be reliable, then it is a good deal.

Oh yes, just to add: The Crucial brand is owned by Micron, who, along with Intel, make the actual NAND chips in the drive (IMFT NAND = Intel Micron Flash Technologies), and so the NAND chips themselves are good quality, and the drive is slower because of its controller/firmware.

Very good price! If you are going to use it, and have the full setup

Yeah, checked a few other sites including www.gforcesim.com, but was too late...missed the special. It's R8000 now

I see the iPhone 4s (2gen back) is at R1999 for 16GB at MTN. Sounds like a good deal.

[Gtx Gaming]

[Foxbat]

I checked before lunch and saw that they were sold out. However, I have just snagged one. Might be worth checking from time to time if you are still trying to get one. Perhaps they keep discovering stock

did the ram factory's not explode or something a while back?

Yep. I wanted to buy some server memory the other day. Struggled my butt off to find anyone with actual stock of the stuff I needed and when I did, it was ludicrously expensive.

 

[HavocXphere]

Yeah there was some such story.

grr...8gb will have to do for now.

I'm just glad I bought a complete gaming PC before the pricing crapped itself. Still I wanted to add more (sound, +RAM, better case & cooling).

Edit:
So I just found out from Google news that R800 will buy me a slightly decomposed corpse...but not a stick of RAM. Welcome to Africa. Also...I think its time to stop reading news.

Prophecy had the best pricing for an 8gb module. Was 850 or so iirc a couple of weeks ago.
