Hi everyone!

Speculation might be fun but the comsumer-end sure is sad. Some years ago when the first RIMMs were out in the stores top-priced along with the also top-priced motherboards and also (allegedly) top performance I went to one of those stores and bought a beautifull set of two 256Mb RIMM's and an also neat motherboard for thm to run on. The result is that at the moment I stil have 2x256Mb of RAM on my €350 motherboard. 

It's a really sad issue that I, by all means, cannot upgrade my computers memory while my dad's computer (an amd duron (yes not even ddr!)) got upgraded recently and has more system memory that I have. 

It's a real shame that people can't buy pc's every 2-3 years like the computer industry demands the consumers to. (note: I do not use my computer to play games, so it all ends to a memory problem anyway you look at todays system requirements for non-gaming needs)
