|  Price of RAM?!?!?!?!?! I did a quick search of Newegg and I was REALLY surprised at what I saw: Crucial Ballistix 2x1GB 800MHz - $115: Newegg.com - Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail Crucial Ballistix 2x1GB 667MHz - $246: Newegg.com - Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail How is it that 667MHz RAM is more than 800MHz RAM, and more than double it's price at that? The memory market has gone crazy.  Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 + Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme DFI Blood Iron P35-T2RL + Thermalright HR-05 IFX 2GB G.Skill 800MHz F2-6400PHU2-2GBHZ EVGA GeForce 8800GTS 320MB Silverstone Decathlon 650W Western Digital 250GB SATA II |

| Re: Price of RAM?!?!?!?!?! Well, granted, the timings on the 667Mhz sticks are a bit tighter, but that doesn't explain a $135.00 price difference sans rebate on the 800Mhz kit.  |

| I don't know how to put this, but, I'm kind of a big deal.  | Re: Price of RAM?!?!?!?!?! Comes down to supply and demand, as it pertains to Newegg. While they're the preferred retailer of most enthusiasts, they're not necessarily indicative of the market as a whole. For example, you can pick up that same $246 kit of RAM at mWave for $98.50 plus shipping...  |
