ram prices :-0

[hypeMarked]

I was cruising around the cpu/oc forum last night and notice about the ram prices that is climbing, and the last post was on March somethikng. Are the ram prices still going up or what? When should I buy ram whether it's DDR or Rambus ?

I thought they were heading down.

recently, ram prices have been dropping. it certainly is not at the level of last year, when 256mb pc2100 crucial could be had for less than $40... but it's dropping. i read somewhere the this is becuz hynix is trying to raise cash by dumping inventory. good for the consumer

samsung 256MB pc2100 can be bought for $36@newegg w/o S&H+Tax. samsung is good imo and i have 128mb of it on my 2nd system.

From what I've been reading on sites, the price of RAM is down and will continue to go down.

Makes me chuckle that I bought stuff two months ago that cost $80 and now is $60 and going lower.

So anyone know when is the best time to buy ram? I am planning to wait for another 1 1/2 month, but if ram increases soon, i will buy it now.

Anyone know the best time to buy stocks? If the prices are going up i'll buy now.

DRAM plummets to $2.00

The only way is down

By Mike Magee, 08/05/2002 10:34:50 BST

DRAM EXCHANGE said that prices of memory continue on their downward spiral and while the reference price for spot DRAM was $2.5 yesterday, it's likely to hit $2 by the end of the week.

It must be like Groundhog Day for the memory manufacturers, the Dramurai.

According to the Web site, weak demand plus an oversupply of capacity are the main reasons for the continuing decline in prices, which apply not only to SDRAM but to DDR memory too, despite the efforts made by motherboard manufacturers and by firms like Intel to hype up the action with new chipset announcements this month.

While spot market prices have suffered badly during the course of this week, so too have contract prices according to DRAM Exchange, with reference chip prices falling to $4 and no sign of any improvement in the market.

Perhaps the continuing decline in this second quarter will once more concentrate the minds of the Dramurai ? which talked big on consolidation at the end of last year but withdrew some when they thought everything in the garden was all roses again.

Memory prices can be taken as a general barometer of the state of the PC industry ? as IBM and HP said earlier this week, if there is growth during 2002, it's slow growth.

and not only that, as prices collapse - Crucial is now offering a $20/$25 coupon code on thier site for
PC2100 DDR

And for the guy who wants to know what "buy stocks now" means:

the forests of the world are being decimated by pollution and free logging, so if you own a shotgun or rifle
with cracked or dented wood, it would be a good idea to "buy stocks now".

I'd stay away from RMBS if I were Ya, damn thing is not looking so good and I would not even risk a penny on it.
