Memory is a commodity item, and as such is subject to a lot of the games 
that are played in that market by suppliers. 

As for Corsair specifically, I can tell you from experience that they 
have a lot more overhead with respect to advertising, etc. than a lot of 
memory suppliers.  Back when I was running fastsilicon.com, they sent us 
a lot of review samples and were very retail-oriented with their 
packaging, etc.
