Looking for DDR2 PC-8500 but its DAMN expensive!

Ahoi Matey's,

I'm looking for DDR2 PC-8500 4GB to fit with my MSI P43 Neo-F Motherboard.
But the thing is, I can't find it for less then € 100!! (that's $150).

Can anyone advise me which DDR2 kit I can buy for less then $150 or are they just very expensive nowadays?

Thanks in advance,

Prices are way up, I would suggest looking for used RAM.

DDR2 has come up a huge amount in price since summer... Should've bought some 4gb kit back then, but I was broke... And now I'm angry.

I tried ebay but I cant find them near the € 70 price tag...how frustrating. Is it even worth to put 4GB PC-8500 5-5-5-15 1.8V in my system? Or should I just keep my 2GB PC-6400 Kingston ValueRAM?

Its nuts, i remember when the FS section here had 2x2gb kits for 40$ sometimes even in the 30$.
Now guys are ripping their fellow TPU members off, jeez charging over 80$ for some ddr2:shadedshu

GL in your search OP.

I have a Question. Will this RAM: http://www.ocztechnology.com/products/memory/ocz_pc2_9200_low_voltage_blade_series work with my MSI P43 Neo-F Motherboard and are they good for overclocking?

Thanks in advance

yes i have those... they are amazing. They OC past my NB's ability to run them so I cant comment on the OCable ness of them... but they definitely run at 1100Mhz at specd volts and timings on a 1600Mhz fsb on my board...
