About a month ago, i was trying to look for a DDR ram, because my girlfriends computer was so slow and i found out that it only had 256mb of ram, and the hard disk was full of bad sectors. I am not very familiar with the parts, i know what they are but i dont know the specifics. I went to PC Express, i thought that i could find any computer part here, but the guy said that they don't sell DDR's anymore. I was surprised, for me, DDR's are still new because the PC that i'm using still uses one (old school) and it's just 3 years old. So i went around town center and went to the 4th floor where most of the computer stores are, I checked every store and they didn't have even a stick of DDR, and they all referred me to the store in front of CD-R king. This store had every kind of RAM and a lot of chop-chop parts. I asked the lady if they had a DDR, she said yes, and i asked how much she said P4,300. It's ironic that something that is older and slower is much more expensive than the ones that are being used now (Branded DDR P4,000 vs Branded DDR P1,500). It wasnt the first time that this happened to me, when i went to PCX about 2 years ago, i was trying to look for an RD ram for my 6 year old pc (mga unang p4), the guy literally laughed when he saw me holding that kind of ram. I couldnt believe it, because during that time, there was no core 2 duo or even a core duo, it was still the time of pentium 4 but there was no parts for it.
This story reminded me of our research about IBM, we really should take into consideration the availability of parts when we buy a PC (used or brand new), because if you wont be able to buy upgrades for your pc, you just wouldnt be able to catch up with the requirements of the programs that are released in the market and your pc, in time, will just end up as junk.
