Weekly Memory & Motherboard Price Guide: February 2001 1st Edition

Introduction

It's time once again for AnandTech's Memory and Motherboard price guide.

The basic goal is to provide you with the best deals, and follow price trends of the listed products. We have selected a leading team of on-line vendors, and will be tracking their progress on weekly basis. Please note that all vendors were selected according to their best price offered. Some vendors may ask that you place a phone-order to make sure that you receive our listed price; others simply ask that you mention where you found the price (in this case AnandTech). We have tried to eliminate vendors with low feedback rating, but we do encourage you to do some research before purchasing any product from this list.

If you encounter any problems with a vendor on our list, please email us, and we will take appropriate action. Remember that we will only list vendors with positive customer feedback. If you have any suggestions, don't hesitate to let us know.

This Week

Last time our memory price guide had some modest drops here and there but this things have changed quite a bit. Overall, prices have fallen for almost every module of memory that we list in our guide. We've never seen such a singular drop in prices across the board but there's a first time for everything and some drops are quite significant thus if you're looking for memory now is definitely the time to buy.

Things have been slow in the motherboard market since our last guide as prices have remained steady or dropped slightly, overall nothing very significant. This week we've added i850 motherboards supporting the Intel Pentium 4 processor which should be interesting to watch in the coming months as motherboard manufacturers continue to produce more solutions for this platform. In addition, we've added the Iwill KA266 motherboard to our Socket A DDR motherboard list which is based on the ALi Magik 1 chipset. Though not much has changed with motherboard pricing you can still find a great i815E or KT133(A) motherboard for a very competitive price.
