I've noticed an approximate 10% increase in price across the board for 2x1024mb ram from about a month ago... Patriot LL used to be $232 now it's $256 ($24 increase), OCZ value used to be $185, now it's $201 ($16 increase). Does this have anything to do with seasonal/annual sale targets?
Why have RAM prices increased?

Could be seasonal, or it could be because DDR2 is finally leading to a reduction in the supply of DDR, which would drive up prices for DDR.
They are going up, but they are still way less than they were at the first of this year.
I paid $145 for 2x512 Corsair Value RAM back in Janurary.

Seems like EVERYTHING'S prices are going up....
Hope the RAM is just seasonal...unlike gas prices.

The ram manufacturer's are shifting the lines to DDR2, so the prices of DDR2 is going down, but the flip side is there's less DDR going around so there prices are going up. I also think there producing more flash drives, taking away from our precious DDR supplies!

Why didnt someones alarm bells ring to warn me? In my house, I have 2x 512 pc3200 and 1x 512 pc2100. My dad needs 1x 512 pc3200 for his Sempron after he fried my old palomino 1800+, My DLT3C 1700+ is stuck with 1 pc2100 and 1 pc3200 so relieving the bandwidth restrictions of the XP's isnt possible.
If someone told me they were going to rise, Id have picked up a stick
Chip prices have rebounded so RAM manufacturers have to pay more to samsung, infineon, micron, etc. Prices since Jan have been really soft, but supply is starting to tighten up, even on the spot market. Switches to more DDR2 production are part of it too.

That is true, but do you know what the price of material is for ram is? I don't but I bet it's nothing.

You still have to make it, design it, ship it, etc...all using oil. It touches everything...modernity is built on it.
Don't stock prices typically go up and ram prices typically go down???
P.S. nice OC on the venice, what voltage do you have the core at?

Surely you don't mean this Worldcom:

...but I suppose I can give you a 2 MB FPM SIMM for it if you'll pick up the $6.50 domestic S&H charge.
