Why ddr2 so expensive

Servers are none of these things. Call the Mod Hotline! I think i got a bunch of DDR2 laying around, i tried to sell them dirt cheap, people wouldnt buy, so i kept em in case Originally Posted by thideras. It comes down to cost of replacing a component in the system to the cost of replacing the entire server hardware and programs. A business would be much more likely to simply add more RAM, even if the prices are high.

Otherwise, they need to buy a full server and migrate their applications over to it. The second option costs more and is significantly more risk. That is how they see it.

Jan 7, 1 0. I just picked up a used Dell Precision M for a great great price. Comes with 4Gb memory, thinking about upgrading to 8Gb. OS is Windows Vista Business. I have Windows 7 Home Premium sitting around I can install. Perhaps on new ssd drive Looked at the memory 8Gb and it cost more than the laptop. Why so high now days? Anywhere I can get it cheap? Thank you.
