Thanks for the links, Senbei.

Today Crucial's prices are changing a lot, and worse, they're showing lower prices on the list than in the shopping cart. For the 2x1GB, I was seeing $400 on the...

Aaand... Crucial is back to $200 for 1GB. I don't know why the price keeps changing around. Also I'm pretty sure their 4GB kit was going for about $970, but as of right now it's $1100. Doh!

Edit:...

Crucial now has 1GB modules on their site. The price is $433 for two, which is entirely reasonable. Unfortunately I'm not yet able to buy them, because it says that they're out of stock, but the fact...

Thanks for the information, devmage, that's good to know. That's the first time I've heard a date for Crucial's memory, and it seems like I won't have to wait too long.
