    It's kinda wierd that new ram is cheaper than older ram...why is this? older CPU's are cheaper than newer one's..same with GC's..
    one can get 1gb PC4200/5300 for half the price of the 2100/2700...
    older ram for desktops are the opposite..

    Lower supply maybe? I don't know. RAM prices are the weirdest thing ever. They fluctuate often and make you wish you had bought 2 sticks when the prices were lower.
