You're saying that old PC133, PC2100, PC2700 RAM is cheaper in
equivalent size/stick than today's cheapest RAM?
What's your price on a new 1 gig PC133, PC2100, PC2700 stick?
I haven't checked them all, but I certainly don't see them being
particularly more expensive than the latest whiz-bang memory. I
bought 512MB PC2700 DIMMs this afternoon for ~$8/ea. I haven't
bought any 1GB DIMMs recently.
But seriously; check eBay. There doesn't seem to be that much of
a price spread.
New DDR3 1333 memory is about $22 per GB. I have 12GB in my
computer, and IE thanks me. : ) 16 windows are consuming about 6GB.
