Prices on RAM

[Dan C]

Is it just me that didn't notice or have the price fallen quite a bit in the last couple of months ?

Frankly, I have not been monitoring the prices, but it seems to be about 50% cheaper than last year this time.

e.g. http://www.takealot.com/electronics/corsair-vs2gb1333d3-xms-3-2gb-ddr3-1333,5313485

And a lot of other brands going for more or less the same price !!

Is it worthwhile upgrading to 8gb ???

Well what do you do on your pc?

If you do not use ram intensive program then there is no need but memory is so cheap if you want to do then go for it.

Yip. Depends on your PC.

And remember to use a 64bit OS.

tbh ram was expensive 6+ months ago, iirc there was a shortage of the actual memory/solid state modules. from the sounds of things that has been remedied.

oh +1 to the 64bit OS. I have a friend who has 6gb of ram yet he still prefers win 7 32 bit because "there are apps that dont work in 64bit". still, he's happy with his 3.5gb which picks up lol
