DDR3 RAM getting cheaper

By Praveen Edburg | Friday, February 06, 2009


What used to be uber expensive a year ago has come to a level of somewhat manageable prices. The DDR3 RAMs used to cost upwards of $500 for a pair and hence the market penetration was much lower. With the advent of Intel Core i7 systems which make these DDR3 RAMs a must, it seems the user base of these are increasing steadily. Still the Core i7 platforms are on the expensive side and things are going to be cheaper in a few months after some market adoption. With AMD's AM3 platform, these RAMs should become even common making their prices go even lower. Until these next generation RAMs and motherboards become cheaper, I am not going to upgrade from my present platform especially since these RAMs dont have any considerable advantage over the DDR2 ones currently.
