          I doubt these are market prices. This is probably just for people that are designing DDR-II systems to have equipment to develop with.

          It's new tech. I bet the yield sucks right now, and that's a big part of the reason for the price.

            Yes...it'll probably go mainstream at twice the price of DDR anyway....

                I will be in Akihabara on Saturday (building a new sys for a friend)

                I will check prices and availability then.

                For those of you that don't know, if it's available retail and it's electronic - it's in Akihabara

                  and cheap, too. (if all those old Byte magazines were true )

                    so this means that no average consumer will actually be able to buy it coz no one in their sane state of mind would put that amonut on a memory that is prolly just like 5-10% faster than standard ddr that u can get for around 80$ or less!

                      This are first samples with poor yields.

                      The only people that need it right now are working at companies that are designing motherboards to utilize it, so have that in mind when considering prices.

                      By the time motherboards come out and demand rises, it will proabably cost as much as high end DDR costs now.
