More Good News on Memory Prices

[Doggiedog]

Last week Hynix, the #4 DRAM manufacturer, rejected a buyout offer from Micron. Micron is now soo pissed at Hynix that they are going to run them out of business.

Expect memory prices to tank very very soon.

Confirmed?

 

[Doggiedog]

Not confirmed. I don't think Micron would publicly announce a huge price war but it is very well known how they feel right now.

In fact, the CEO of Micron, Steve Appleton, publicly stated his dissatisfaction with Hynix.

 

[PlatinumGold]

I hope he does except it might bankrupt micron. i don't see how micron could possibly win a price war w/ a korean manufacturer.

<---starts to drool and gets suddenly aroused at the thought of cheap memory

 

[pyonir]

arg i need another 256......

 

[Doggiedog]

Micron has over $2B in cash and investments. Hynix will go out of business a lot sooner than MU will.

Hynix has over $3.5B in overdue debt and needs to be rescued which the Korean gov't or their creditors will not do. In fact, they both wanted MU to buy Hynix but Hynix's board rejected the offer really ticking off the gov't and the creditors.

Hope video card prices drop with it, although that may be wishful thinking.
I want to play this Morrowwind game, but I doubt my Rage128 pro is going
to cut it since I've heard that Geforce2 GTS cards have problems with it

 

[dakata24]

I have noticed micron has some $20 off coupons on their site for memory. man if this happens I am going to max out my system with ram. Not to mention buy a boatload of DDR 333

 

[Sir Fredrick]

I guess I'll be holding off on purchasing my 512MB Registered DDR then...hopefully this happens very soon.
