RE: Memory costs

It will be a miracle if this thread doesn't spawn a life of it's own.
The costs will vary depending on size, server, and whether or not it is
DDR1 or DDR2.

You will see some fluctuation in pricing ranging anywhere from $550 per
gigabyte (typical 1GB modules) to $1300/$1500 (typical 4GB or 8GB
modules) up to $4700 (32GB DDR2 module).  These are list prices and your
mileage may very depending on your system, your available slots, and
your memory needs.

In theory our pricing should be close to what our P counterparts are
paying but I've heard some rumbling that it isn't.  I don't speak that
language so I won't even attempt to interpret.

Subject: Memory costs

The last time I looked, memory for the System i was about $4000 per
gigabyte
(I'm not even sure how much DASD is anymore).  Is that number still
close to
the current cost?  I have to believe it's come down some, but how much?
