    Newegg has a sale going on today,

    Newegg.com - What Will YOU Save On? 10% Off ALL External HDDs, 15% Off Laptop Memory & more!

    15% off all laptop RAM included. I was hoping that someone can confirm that the 4GB single stick shipped with the Envy 14 is DDR3 PC3 10600. I know my previous 2 x 2GB was, I just wanted to confirm that the 4GB stick was as well. Thanks for the help.

    Looking at this specifically

    Newegg.com - G.SKILL 4GB 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Laptop Memory Model F3-10600CL9S-4GBSQ

    Whew, got one earlier. Should be a great addition to the Envy 14 (w/ Radiance) that I just got on eBay. Thanks for the heads-up, HockeyDr!

    Not true, prices are very low right now but they will be increasing in a few months. Check this article.

    DRAM spot price sees big jump, says inSpectrum

    A year or two ago also saw a dramatic increase in RAM prices only to see it fall again when the supply caught back up with demand.

    Prices definitely go up and down.

    Back in stock :).


    It says auto notify when all the different types of RAM are listed but if you click into the g.skill, it's still available to be ordered. I just placed an order no problem. If they make me wait for it, no big deal, knowing Newegg they will at the very least lock the price for my order. Their customer service is beyond excellent.
