Default DDR2 Phase out

So how much longer do you guys think it will be for DDR2 to be completely Phased out and as old and Expensive as DDR1?


I started noticing how much more expensive DDR2 has been getting on newegg..
I used to be able to get a decent 4X2GB kit for just under 50 Bucks. Lucky if i find one under 70 now


What's your input guys?

Yeah I noticed the prices going up as well.. But on the other hand, DDR3 prices seem to be going down a bit

I think it will be another year, maybe 2, when DDR3 will be actually cheaper than DDR2.

What's your input guys?

I paid $59AUD for 2x1Gb Kits of my sig ram no less than 2 months ago, the same stuff at the same store is now almost twice the price at $99AUD.

I give it another year or so before DDR3 is the standard.
