memory prices

Posted on November 1, 2009 11:04 AM about Technology | |

I have been astounded by how cheap computer memory has gotten.

A stick of 2GB DDR3 memory is only $45. That is amazing. A few years ago that much memory would have cost hundreds of bucks.

If you want to put 4 GB in your iMac, you can get 2 sticks for $90.

But the iMac only has 2 memory slots. If you want more than 4GB, then you need to get a larger stick. The next size up from 2GB is 4GB.

And it costs?

A minimum of $240. Ouch! That is a price I am more used to. Looks like it will be a while before we upgrade our Macs with more than 4 GB...
