Well, actually crucial has gone up. I want to match another stick of 512MB crucial to the one I have PC3200. This is nice stuff, it hits 220MHZ no problem which is good enough for me.

However its gone from 89 to 93

Buying RAM is like playing the stock market. The longer you wait the cheaper it will get. RAM prices are always falling and new varieties of RAM are always being introduced. Try buying with a coupon code for the best prices on RAM.

Doesn't it ususally start dipping down around Xmas now that all of the big OEMs like Dell, HP, and Gateway have mostly bought their holiday inventory and supply starts outstripping demand again. It seems like it happens almost every year, ususally hitting bottom around Feb-March or so (barring any earthquakes or other disasters in Taiwan). I figure sometime early next year it is time to kick my Corsair ValueSelect PC2700 (512MB for $50 at a Fry's grand opening, so it wasn't bad) to the curb and get me a quality dual channel kit from Mushkin or OCZ so I can see what my new 2500+ really can do on my A7N8X. I'm hoping to grab a 512MB kit of the Enhanced Latency Platinum OCZ PC 3200 for under $100 soon. Maybe something even better if the price is right. I'm hoping that with the A64-FX being the next big thing, Registered ECC becomes all the rage soon and pushes down the price on the regular DDR.

Where do you guys buy Buffalo RAM from? I bought it once from Maramduke (AMDMB forum). It appears like that sale thread has been closed due to complaints from buyers!

No. Not always.

It'd be nice if they gave a little more "detailed" description, tho.....latency, etc. Tho I imagine at this price it's cas3.

Are they dual channel capable?

Just got my 400SC and I'm anxious to put some quality PC3200 RAM into it. I had no idea the RAM is still so expensive.

In a machine that currently has 128MB PC2700 (333MHz), can I stick a PC3200 in there ? Hoping for backwards compatibility...

I would not call this quality pc3200

yes, it will just run at the slower speed of your 2700
