Unfortunately that's not likely, especially once back-to-school sales start to kick in for the major PC manufactures. Then, once we enter the fall season, DRAM prices will continue to trend skyward, if history is any indication. Without fail for the last decade or so, prices have always trended up in H2 and then come back down in H1.
EDIT: Better hope there's no natural disasters (or other misfortune) in Asian-Pacific Rim too, or forget it.
