Ram at newegg... price spike?

[JimRaynor]

Ram prices seem to have been going up, but I was a little surprised when I checked out newegg.

I ordered this ram at newegg about 2 months ago maybe for 215 even. Now it's $299. Crazy.

That's why I'm glad I just picked up a stick of 512 meg of crucial pc2100 memory for $50 shipped.

Yeah, the price on the lower-end PC3200 512mb sticks went up about $5-8 since last week. I checked last week to see if it had dropped, and it was at $86 for the one I wanted, the same stick is $92 today.

Wow....and see, for comparison's sake, i got a 512 stick of crucial pc2700 for about $42 last year. i remember when ram was relatively cheap as hell. i wonder why so high now?

Just don't buy ram now, we're on a huge price spike. Ram flucuated like crazy, its a good idea to just upgrade when the price drops.

I've noticed that Newegg's prices fluctuate up and down on lots of items.

The CPU I bought a couple weeks ago from them for $226 is priced $232 today. I'm used to buying equipment and then watching the price drop.

computer sales go up as people get their taxes back. should come down again in a month or two.

I bought my Mushkin 222 Special on March 25 and I payed $243.00 now its up to $350.00.

Well there is the deal with Winbond as well which doesn't help much.

Last year i bought 4GB of 512MB PC2700 Kingston at $58 a chip

Used it in 3 systems, and kept a gig for myself. Its now running in a Dell400SC when they had the 3.2C upgrade deal.

Kami333 put up a link that should answer your question.

That's not got anything to do with price spikes, that's because it's being phased out so it's rarer, IIRC. (Anandtech's latest RAM article said they were getting rid of the 222)

I am as sick of these #*#@@&#* RAM prices as I am gasoline going up every week. :disgust:
