For some high-end machines this may be the case, but once you count the cost of SOFTWARE, it's almost always more expensive to build (though you'll probably get better quality components).  OEMs get better prices on hardware and software licenses than you can get at retail and they come with one single warranty, as opposed to multiple.  Your best deal will be either the back-to-school specials that hit at the end of the summer or Black Friday after Thanksgiving.  Or hit up bargain sites for current deals - Dell always has good specials if you watch for a few weeks.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[wizzle]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 30th 2009 2:17PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Micron's smaller NAND chips mean more, faster flash memory in the same old enclosures]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/microns-smaller-nand-chips-mean-more-faster-flash-memory-in-th/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/microns-smaller-nand-chips-mean-more-faster-flash-memory-in-th/</guid><description><![CDATA[Isn't it 200 MB/s? ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mam00th]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 30th 2009 8:01AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Micron's smaller NAND chips mean more, faster flash memory in the same old enclosures]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/microns-smaller-nand-chips-mean-more-faster-flash-memory-in-th/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/microns-smaller-nand-chips-mean-more-faster-flash-memory-in-th/</guid><description><![CDATA[No. If you're referring to the 6Gb/s figure, this is the speed when combined into an array, so multiple chips can be reading/writing at once.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Harry Wagstaff]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 30th 2009 8:23AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Micron's smaller NAND chips mean more, faster flash memory in the same old enclosures]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/microns-smaller-nand-chips-mean-more-faster-flash-memory-in-th/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/microns-smaller-nand-chips-mean-more-faster-flash-memory-in-th/</guid><description><![CDATA[No wonder they seem to be suffering performance issues with use.   ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Unknown]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 30th 2009 11:07AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Micron's smaller NAND chips mean more, faster flash memory in the same old enclosures]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/microns-smaller-nand-chips-mean-more-faster-flash-memory-in-th/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/microns-smaller-nand-chips-mean-more-faster-flash-memory-in-th/</guid><description><![CDATA[So surely if these smaller chips can mean more memory, will we see a 120Gb iPod Touch that phases out the iPod Classic for good?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Chasethebase]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 30th 2009 8:01AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Micron's smaller NAND chips mean more, faster flash memory in the same old enclosures]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/microns-smaller-nand-chips-mean-more-faster-flash-memory-in-th/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/microns-smaller-nand-chips-mean-more-faster-flash-memory-in-th/</guid><description><![CDATA[First we need to see some Zune HD 64-gb edition and its price...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Shinigami]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 30th 2009 8:04AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Micron's smaller NAND chips mean more, faster flash memory in the same old enclosures]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/microns-smaller-nand-chips-mean-more-faster-flash-memory-in-th/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/microns-smaller-nand-chips-mean-more-faster-flash-memory-in-th/</guid><description><![CDATA[These guys just wont give up with the zune]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Erik]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 30th 2009 8:08AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Micron's smaller NAND chips mean more, faster flash memory in the same old enclosures]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/microns-smaller-nand-chips-mean-more-faster-flash-memory-in-th/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/microns-smaller-nand-chips-mean-more-faster-flash-memory-in-th/</guid><description><![CDATA[If your prediction is 'In the future electronic devices will have more memory', then I think that you're probably correct.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[j_g_puff]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 30th 2009 8:26AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Micron's smaller NAND chips mean more, faster flash memory in the same old enclosures]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/microns-smaller-nand-chips-mean-more-faster-flash-memory-in-th/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/microns-smaller-nand-chips-mean-more-faster-flash-memory-in-th/</guid><description><![CDATA[Actually I see smaller and more varied electronic devices.
