memory prices

[ronbo191]

Did I fall asleep and wake up in a nightmare? I have not looked at memory prices for about a month. I went to the Egg today and was in shock at what I saw. Just a short time ago 4 gig of good memory was close to $50. Now it looks like the prices have doubled. Please tell me I'm wrong, or still sleeping. What caused the increase, another fire?

Supply + demand...

Thanks guys. So the nightmare is true. I'm going back to sleep now. Wake me when things get back to normal.

In all likelihood, this is "normal." DDR3 is on its way in (forcefully) and DDR2 is going the way of DDR1 when DDR2 was on its way in. prices most likely won't come down.. maybe a bit, but we'll most likely see a rise in DDR2 prices again first.

Fear and crazy, thanks for that link on this very topic. I feel like a fool for not searching first. My apologies to the mods for starting a new thread. If this can be merged into the other thread I would be less embarrassed....
