I'm sure this has been asked before, but I'll spread the love?

Is there a real difference between the $80 ram and the $200 ram? They seem to be about the same....

Expect a memory chip price war bigtime when school starts, a rep told me.

Now if gas prices would do the same....

thanks for the great find on the newegg chip. unfortunately, i don't think the price will drop that much further. I mean, look at the "last generation" of ddr2 memory (the pc4200 533mhz ram used in the hi-res powerbooks). they are still pretty high (close to the prices of the newest ones that the intel macs use.)

i bought this RAM from newegg at it works properly at 667 MHz in my MacBook. Not sure about long term reliability but it was dirt cheap.

Year-end sales will be ferocious in electronics and memory for all manufacturers scrambling for a piece of the pot in their marketplace.

Apple's major advance purchase of flash and other memory ensures their memory share is in place.
The factoid on price wars came from a memory chipmakers sales rep, who likely has a good feel of the pulse and direction, since markets are determined sometimes a year in advance; much like the fashion industry knows next springs' styles already.

Intel already knows and released processor families publicly, but computer makers have had samples long ago for logic board designs.
