      That latest info I got from Kingston they mentioned that it would go up far another 2-3months!
      According to the latest official figures, 43% of all statistics are totally worthless...

        Oh no Memory Prices!

        The F***ed up thing is that over at HardOCP they had a brurb that 256MB of RAMBUS is cheaper by $10 bucks then 256MB DDR RAM!

            it will come back down pretty soon i reckon as any christmas price rises will evapourate and production gets ramped up increasing supply. every manufacturer will try to increase supply to take advantage of the increased price at present and the over supply will drive prices down.

                I've been saying this in other threads. It's not just Christmas pricing. They will be going up for a while yet.

                  I bought some RAM from Crucial on-line on Dec 18.
                  256meg PC133 cas2 7E for my trusty old P3B-F.
                  At that time, it cost $37.79
                  Today it's at $43.19
                  That's over a 14% price hike in just 2 weeks for this part...

                    Best time to have bought RAM (at least SDRAM) appears to have been last September-October or so...
                    Couldn't afford it.. I dumped all my free cash into AMD when it was at around $9 per share..

                          Someone else is already interested. However if it falls through I'll let you know.

                            I was being slightly tongue-in-cheek, but let me know anyway!

                            After seeing over 70% forecasting a rise, which wasn't really a surprise, I ordered a 512 PC2100 from Crucial for £131.

                            Cheers
