There is a slang term using the word Buffalo and it means that if you have been "Buffaloed" then you have been "fooled". Perhaps this might apply well in this situation.

Buffalo Sets DDR-II SDRAM Module Prices.
$915 for 512MB of DDR-II Memory?
[02/22/2004 06:02 PM]Famous memory module manufacturer
DDR-II (or DDR2) 240-pin memory modules from Buffalo utilize FBGA memory chips from Elpida, but are demonstrated with no heat-spreader installed for some unknown reason, as even with 1.8V memory voltage, 30% lower compared to conventional DDR SDRAM memory, DDR-II should still dissipate quite a lot of heat, especially at 533MHz.
A report over Akiba PC Hotline claims that
Mainboards with DDR-II support are currently not available and are expected to emerge in March or April. All DDR-II memory systems this year will be dual-channel and will require at least two models to be installed for optimal performance. With a pair of 512MB memory modules at 400MHz with CL 3-3-3 latencies quoted at about $1800, it is not likely that DDR-II will be mainstream this year, as a couple of 512MB quality DDR modules cost about $160 nowadays.
