its going up and up,
and expected to go up

todays Bangalore price is 2.2k for 2 GB
they are expecting it to move up as they say ram chips are not available as most manufacturers concentrating on flash cards

the most ridiculous excuse a dealer can give. However there is a slight increase in DDR 2 ram price worldwide(arnd 2-3$) max. The prices on newegg tigerdirect etc havent changed as far asi have obseved

Indian dealers are the first to increase price and last to do price cuts.:hap5:
 
^^ I already sold like 50-60 Pcs of OCZ C4 Latency when i was getting it for a cheaper price and forwarded the same to you'll too.

But now the distri's are quoting the normal market rates.

rohit of ankith told me this, i told him i dont need ram and just enquiring

so i dont doubt his intent, may be he was told so...

he dont bluff to me , and i believe it for a reason
 
I feel unlucky as I am in the process of making myself a new rig. I wanted to have 8Gigs of ram but I will be lucky if I am able to get 4 Gigs
 
now the thing is -is it really profitable to buy ddr2 rams now or just pray for the prices to come down (which are not expected to be)?
because ddr3 doesn't really fit in many of us budget!
 
^ if u really need it , then no option than to buy it, for example if someone is making a new system they have to buy it. so its something that will sell @ whatever price it runs. only thing is someone would consider buying 1gig if they were planning to buy 2gig and so on and so forth...so if u really need it (i.e u do something/whatever on ur system that u end up using 100% of the ram available of the system) then buy it , if u need it just for that bling factor - dont buy it.

@Tech_enthu : +1
 
ok i declare the main purpose -the pc would be used for recording cctv videos(12-13hrs)+internet browsing and some downloading as well..
the pc is basically bought for office purpose and it will be operated by my dad...office purpose bounds using corel draw+an office software+microsoft word etc..
so i really think i must go for 1 gig?
 
^depends how much mem would the cctv recording app hog, have u observed this on another system ? downloading and browsing wouldn't take a lot. Corel Draw !!- yes will need sufficient mem for it to run, and if u are playing with large files , even more then. then depends on that 'office software' + word ( 1 instance easily takes upto 40mb in ram) , so multiple instances - more there. so now calculate. if u really negate corel from the list, 1 gig should be fine, taking corel into perspective changes the entire outlook, 2gig seems like a safer bet.
 
^^when we talk about corel draw i must declare that my dad uses corel draw on celeron 1.8ghz + 256 mb ram

i did mention about the "files" that are worked upon on corel.....i work on corel too with file sizes in excess of 700mb :S and 2 instances @ the same time......and it kills my c2d / 3gig laptop........if he is contended with that then all u gotta check is for the cctv app, i think 1gig should be enuf then.
 
^^so please take it that way -the files which were used on the earlier config^^ will only be used on this new config and maybe a 'bit' bigger files:)..but i suppose this config will not be changed for 5-6 yrs:S
