I think ram companies are just starting to realize we are paying for 1.2k chips, 550 for graphics, 300 for psus and now mobos are hitting 700? They want more money now too!
I paid $600 for 3x2 cmgtx2, they are now $750 and out of stock.
They were worth every penny. In aq3, sp32m, pf and 05 they are totally worth it
It was nice buying ddr2-667 cas 5 ballistix with d9 and clocking to 1200+ though, you are totally right
