Ram has a massive price drop?

[noxipoo]

is it me or is there a _massive_ price drop on ram this last week. 128 pc133 generic on pricewatch is now $84... thats almost the price 9-10 months ago when ram was at its cheapest. whats doing on with the sudden drop?

I've seen the same. I bought a CAS2 Samsung PC133 128MB stick (retail) yesterday for $118. One reason I've read for the price drop is a temporary oversupply of RAM due to OEM's not stocking up as much as the RAM mfgr.'s thought they would prior to the Christmas buying season. But, who knows if that holds any water <g>. Now I have two Mushkin Samsung GH PC100 CAS2 64MB SDRAM sticks to get rid of.

Can only mean good news for DDR SDRAM

Check out DDR SDRAM pricing from August,
and now in October.

i welcome the drop as i need to beef up my RAM supply...hopefully the good stuff (7ns) will drop below $100/128Meg stick.

So should we buy now or should we wait? Cuz I'm thinking it'll goes back up around Christmas time.

Two weeks ago I bought a PC133 CAS2 module from crucial.com, I just checked and their prices have not changed. Also looked at memman.com and their good stuff hasn't dropped much, if any, either. Must be more demand for the good stuff!
