In the company's latest report into the market, it remarks that the wholesale price of a 2GB DDR3 module has dropped 46 per cent since the start of the year, from $46.50 to around $25 now - and predicts that it could drop as low as $20 by the end of the year.

even better deals ahead ?

Good. I was thinking of picking up the Mushkin $30AR 4GB kit but passed because I can't even use it till I get a new motherboard/cpu (SandyBridge I hear you calling)

its almost getting there. the 4gb corsair xms3 ram kit i have dropped almost 42% since i bought it in Jan.

not quite the 46% but thats still a lot.... its was 95 when i bought it. its now 55. crazy amount of ram for 55 bucks and no rebates or anything.

Nice to see the 4GB DIMMS becoming the norm, we were stuck on 2GB for the longest time.

Good timing for i5/i7 closeout sales before Sandy Bridge. Cheap CPU, cheap RAM... just need cheap mobos and we're set!

Yea, thats what I wanna hear.

The price of mainstream 1Gb DDR3 chips is set to plunge by about 40% sequentially in the fourth quarter of 2010, ... DRAMeXchange previously estimated contract prices for 2GB DDR3 modules would decrease around 30% on quarter to reach US$20 by year-end 2010. But prices have fallen by more than 30% so far in the fourth quarter ... prices are likely to continue falling through the first half of 2011, before starting to rebound toward the end of the second quarter

No hurry, guys.

Those mushkins were hard to pass up, but I bet they'll be close to $100 for 2 sets by the beginning of next year.

Wow, they're still falling. Right now, GeIL's 2x4GB, DDR3 1333, is down to $85.

Imagine if they fall down to $50. $100 for 16GB!

Hmmmm - I jumped for the 8gb GSkill 1600 RAM on the BF sale for $99. This is for my SB build coming in Jan.

Maybe I should have waited if its really going to fall that much.

 

[Deathhorse]

this is awesome i gotta build coming in jan as well.

I paid $85 for a set of 2x2GB Gskill 1333 end of September/Start of October, same kit is down to $55 and I've only used the computer I put it in a few times since I built it. lol
