Question Corsair XMS 2GB

I want to get the Corsair 2GB XMS memory but I don't want to buy it and then the price goes down. But my question is do you think this product is going to be discontinued and should I buy it ASAP? Thanks!

Good DDR kits are getting scarcer in the retail channel, which is unfortunate for folks like you and me who are choosing to hold off on a DDR2/3 platform upgrade.

My advice: If you intend to keep your S939 system for at least another year or so, I'd pick up any quality RAM still available. If the price decreases, so be it; that's easier to swallow than not finding a part you want/need at all, in my opinion.

Thumbs up Corsair XMS 2GB

Thanks, that makes much sense. I go ahead and get it, not like I have anything to lose.

I have this kit (C4 ver) and payed $300 for it a year ago now you can pick it up for $130AUS so I doubt it will drop in price much more.
