DDR prices on the climb until 2003

From theinquirer.net

A TIGHTENING OF SUPPLY is blamed for the surging price of DDR memory, which climbed to its highest levels in eight months according to DRAMeXchange.
The researcher said the price of a standard sliver of 266MHZ DDR rose to $4.15 on Friday, its highest level since February, as the DDRamurai banded together - we can safely assume - to limit supply and push the prices up.

The spot price for 133MHz memory, however, was less than half that of DDR, as demand for the higher-end memory to support the latest chipsets left 'synchronous' memory unsold.

Supply of DDR is expected to remain tight until the new year, DRAMeXchanges suggests, when more suppliers are expected to come online with DDR offerings.

You can see the current prices of ram here. Looks like i for one wont buy ram until next year.

Thanks for the post and the site. I'm glad like many of us that I got my PC-3200c2 ram before the price jumps. But as far as upgrades I'm waiting till next year anyway to get the new cpu's
