That is pricy. Saw nothing below $90 for the type of ram I > needed. Got any idea as to how much you want, with which timings, et cetera? All you're giving are cost, nothing in regards to specs. For all I know, you could be grabbing the cheapest product from one and the most expensive from the other. That's no comparison. Straight comparisons of the cheap generic ram to quality mushkin/ocz/crucial etc. aren't that fantastic because they differ so much in specs although they might functionally be the same RAM on the surface. And I assure you that Newegg is not expensive when it comes to memory. You want cheap ddr2 800? cheapo 512mb, $19.99 - buy 4 and be under your $90 limit: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820141063 512mb from ocz, 43.99, two of which are still under your $90 limit: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227125 cheapo 1gb, 32.99, again, two of these would be under $90, or buy three to go over it just a bit: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820211062 decent 1gb from mushkin, 44.99, hey will you look at that, two is still under $90: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820146117 Now, what's actually over $200? The 2gb dual channel kits are $200-300 - 2 sticks of 2gb ram for a total of 4gb. Which is entirely reasonable, given that 1gb is about $30-50. Newegg doesn't sell any single sticks for $200. Not even close. Now, cody, honestly, if you can find any retailer that will sell you 4gb of ddr2 800 ram for $35, or even $90, please link it. That's almost too cheap to be true. Preferably from a good manufacturer, too. And you want to know the kicker about this whole thing? outletpc doesn't even have ddr2 800 ram. cheers, jane
