DDR3 is more expensive, say 20-30 dollars more, if you want the
budget line. For desktop, 2GB, say 60-70. DDR2 2GB DIMMS is about,
40?
Triple Channel kits for i7 systems can cost you, what,
$100+?
Laptop DDR3 SO-DIMMS aren't very common, since not many laptops
use DDR3. Most laptops use cheaper DDR2 DIMMS. Cheaper
components=Cheaper laptop=Savings for you. I haven't seen any DDR3
laptop sticks the last time I went to Funan/SLS, so ask the
moderators. They can help you more.
Fuwell selling Kingston DDR3 notebook RAM @ $68 for 1 2GB stick.

hundred bucks. hmm...yeah. DDR2 2GB DIMM are hanging around the $35
- $40 region nowadays...
