FthrJACK Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 from CNBC: Micron MISSED earnings estimates, profits are down, pricing fell apart, inventories are WORSE than last quarter (meaning, that they have TOO Much inventory) - what does this mean for us? CHEAPER PRICES!!! SALES!!! DEALS!!! MORE RAM!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sedative Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 It's about **** time! A few months ago I priced a 512 stick of pc2100 from crucial and it was almost $200 US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zivan56 Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 I just bought a new comp with 512mb PC2100 DDR, 2 months ago I would have only gotten 256MB for that price, its nice to know its getting cheaper. Hopefully will add 512mb more in a few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XPerties Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 yep over 512 is useless like blackwar saidAlso the reason ram is gona be coming down is there being investegated by DOJ because they lied on there books. Also samsung is having trouble so there ram will be droping to. Was on techtv the other day.-Xperties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 DOJ investigating RAM? Are RAM chips doing something illegal? a monopoly?Or are you mistaking the whole thing and actually meant the DOJ investigating Microsoft? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoop Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 i find it odd how micron have to much inventory but i know people that have ordered crucial ram and the pcp has had samsung memory chips on it :Smaybe micron/crucial and samung are playing monopoly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XPerties Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 No really DOJ is checking them out. They made there books look higher in profite for the stock market. They were busted.-Xperties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FthrJACK Posted June 27, 2002 Author Share Posted June 27, 2002 rstryker, last i checked soyo dont have a kt333 board out, unless they have a new one out.the fastest boards with kt333 chipsets out at the moment are ABIT (fastest one) and MSI Kt3 Ultra ARU (my mobo)the MSI board isnt quite as fast (not that you would notice) but has RAID unlike the ABIT one, i plan to add raid to here eventually for more speed so i got this one, theres a huge thread on mobo recomends here:http://www.msfn.org/index.php?act=ST&f=5&t...be085a0971d457band here is usefull:http://www.msfn.org/index.php?s=7455f5b138...&st=0#entry9424 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
