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.
Also be sure to check out AnandTech's Hot Deals Forum for even more great memory, motherboard, CPU, video card and other technology buys.

This Week
Welcome to the First Edition of AnandTech's Memory and Motherboard Price Guide for August.
Like previous week, the price of memory across the board continues to drop; albeit not as sharply as usual. The PC2100 512MB ECC DDR DIMM say a hefty $72 price drop this week, bringing it to a lower price of only $432. PC800 RDRAM also took a nosedive in price this week as 256MB modules can now be found for as little as $131 and 128MB RIMMs can be found for $51. PC100, 133, and 150 DIMMs also continued to drop in price this week.
Slot-1/Socket-370/Socket-423 motherboards continue to remain relatively unchanged in price again this week. Several i815EP motherboards were actually up in price. However, the remaining motherboards showed a slight downward trend.
On the AMD side of things we see the prices of KT133/E and KT133A boards to
drop slightly in price. The Socket-A DDR mobos continue to fall moderately this
week; especially those VIA KT266 boards.

Memory prices continue to fall moderately this week due to the oversupply of modules. The largest price drops came from the 512MB PC2100 ECC DDR DIMM which fell $72 to $432. The 256MB PC2100 DDR module saw a $19 price drop this week and can now be found for $41. The PC800 RDRAM RIMM also fell notable in price to $131.
Prices in the non-DDR and RDRAM categories also saw some decent price reductions this week. The 256MB "PC150" CAS-3 DIMM fell $20 this week, to $40. The 256MB PC133 CAS-2 module fell to $35 this week, a $10 drop in price.

There was again little action in the Slot-1/Socket-370/Socket-423 segment this week. The Epox EP-3SPA3L saw a $5 price reduction this week, putting it at $83. Our pick in the Via Apollo Pro 133A section, the Tyan S1854 Trinity 400, also fell $5 this week. In the VIA Pro266 lineup, we see the MSI Pro266 Master fall to $95, a $15 price drop. The AOpen AX37 Pro also saw a $14 price reduction, putting it at $116. Expect prices to continue to remain the same until Intel releases it's i845 chipset.
