There's already a website that does this, http://whocallsme.com/

A lot more numbers and covers international. Great site, I've been using it for years.

GTS 450, HD 5750 cards now avail below RM400

1GB versions of both GeForce GTS 450 and Radeon HD 5750 cards can now be bought for RM400 or less at some retailers.

These cards can provide exceptional 1680x1050 performance in most games, and good 1920x1200 performance in most games with lowered details.

At the RM400 price level, you probably won't get many extras or bundled software. But if you're like me, and you don't like paying for rubbish software or useless accessories, these cards are ideal for building a decent gaming system which can handle the latest games.

Now that the GTS 450 and HD 5750 can be had at a reasonable price, I would have to discourage most gamers from buying any of the cards that are below these two. These would include the GTS 430 and GTS 200 series, and the Radeon 48xx and 5670 cards. For about RM100 more, you can upgrade to a "real" card.

2GB DDR3-1333 (PC10666) is now less than RM100

DDR3 prices have been dropping the past few weeks.

You can now get a 2GB Kingston DDR3-1333 stick for less than RM100. It was around RM120 ea one month ago.

Notebook DDR3 has been dropping too.

So, good news for system builders and upgraders!

Price tracker/price comparison

Hepta — Wed, 20 Oct 2010 08:34:58 +0800

Hi folks, I just started a price tracker/price comparison project. You can access it at these urls:

http://www.kvpricetracker.info or
http://www.kvpricetracker.com

The site is very basic and currently just runs off Blogspot, but it works.

I have scripts that automatically downloads price lists from Digital Mall, HWZ, vendors' websites, and sometimes from Low Yat. Another set of scripts extracts price info and generates the comparison tables. This is a passive tracker; I do not solicit prices directly from the vendors.

For now, I am updating prices only once or twice a day. Anyway, most vendors update their web price lists only once a day (if at all).

So far I am only tracking processor prices. Will probably start tracking graphics cards soon, around the end of this month. A friend has asked me to track handphone prices, but that's a lot of work and would have to come later.

Pls drop by if you have the time. Comments and suggestions are appreciated. The site is very much a work in progress. Yes, I know my web design sucks
