Kingston sells 4GB of DDR2-800 for £13!

Kingston's super cheap 4GB upgrade kit - available from the 12th Jan at Play.com

Normally 4GB kits of DDR2-800MHz prices sit around £45-50. We thought this was cheap, but it turns out Kingston didn't just go one better - they are set to bottom out the value of DDR2 with a kit available for just £12.99 from play.com in the UK. So that includes delivery also. That's an insanely low price and we're wondering how they even make a penny on that?!

The downsides (and obviously there will be) is that the KVR800D2N6K2/4G kit is a super slow CAS-6 and forget any frills like heatspreaders - these are naked as the day we were born. But for £13, every family member I know is getting a post-Christmas 4GB upgrade present to keep them ticking over for another year.

How will the other memory vendors react to such a sharp drop in price for a very key product? We already know of several online stores who's biggest seller is cheap 4GB DDR2-800 upgrade kits so we expect these to shift like hot cakes on national bun eating day.

Fancy a post Christmas update - well get in quick and let us know how you get on, or if you spot any more crazy deals in the forums! Thanks to Azh_fx from our community to pointing this one out - well spotted!

Updated: Play.com changed the price sorry!

That ranks with O2's 79p/month broadband deal...

The package promises to save money without compromising on performance or allowance. O2 is offering download speeds of up to 20Mbit/s for two different prices - £.79 per month for existing O2 customers, and £14.68 for new O2 customers, with absolutely no bandwidth limit!

"It has been a truly fantastic first year for O2 Home Broadband," said Peter Rampling, marketing director at O2. "And with the new broadband services providing even better value, speed and service, we think both new and existing customers are going to love them even more."

They've 2x2Gb of PNY PC6400 for £25, though it looks like 2 packs rather than a matched pair kit.
