meh, there is enough second hand stuff around now, and its only going to get more plentiful as people switch to 3

[j.o.s.h.1408]

forget second hand stuff. i usually buy pc components brand new

well you would be buying ddr3 then now really, or sodimms, but their price has acted differently than the desktop stuff

I don't see any price reduction. NewEgg still has 4GB sets (2x2GB) starting in the $80 range.

I agree that if it drops 50% I might think about getting some more.

I want the market to saturate again , that was fun , cheap memory everywhere

It'll take a while to filter through to the retail channel Shotty.

will this mean cheap SODIMMS?

(i.e. I've just ordered a 1gb netbook, and would rather like to swap it out for twice as much)
