SO-DIMM memory module prices and supply show some heat
Folks still can care about a few things and at under $30.00 online the 2GB DDR2 SO-DIMM seems to be one of them. Online sales have been brisk on 2GB PC2-5300 and 2GB PC2-6400 SO-DIMM memory module upgrades. A reasonable investment to max out a year old notebook. Additionally, many new machines are stock at 4GB 2X 2GB new from the factory. DDR3 204-PIN SO-DIMM modules in both 2GB and 4GB are shorter as well. In the spot market the “Kings” have always traded higher end SO-DIMM modules as they are usually short or drop faster than housing prices in Socal, yet tend to attract the better quality customers. Today there is also a bit of buzz and a few specific OEM based part number specific requirements for other DDR2 server modules. Tiger Direct does not seem to be offering unreal rebate programs pushing prices well under sub market and back door excess cost, that is a good signal as well.
