You guys know what RAM prices are going to do in the next 2 months?

[zlooop]

Are there any indicators for RAM getting cheaper in the next month or so?
Also, what would you guys expect the AMD 64s and the high end graphic cards to cost in the next month?



I am currenlty building a computer and want to know if I should wait for RAM in the next month, or just go ahead a buy it now.

I have heard RAM will be going down. This is just rumor though I have no facts to back that up.

As for Video cards I would expect them to be around MSRP or a tad lower online once there is acually a large amount of stock floating around.

AMD64 I would think will be around the same price as they are now.

now its over 80+ again and alot of ram has gone back up a bit

If I knew what ram prices were going to do in the next few months I would be making millions in the stock market. You should see them stablize for a few weeks but with the market moving up or down all the time it is really hard to tell.

Explain to me the connection between market indicators and ram prices?

Is RAM a "normal" good in the economic dictionary?

It could be as simple as "supply and demand elasticity".

Yes true. But there should be more factors since it is generally a high end and technology based good.

elasticity of demand woul have very little effect on the stockmarket perfomance of a technology company like Corsair. And you cetainly wouldn't make millions from Ram alone, unless your crazy rich and have a total disregard for risk analysis techniques. New technologies and additions to a companies product range would have a bigger effect on stock performance.

P.S. I hope Ram and CPU's go down too, I want an A64

Er, yes. The cheaper it is, the more people buy.

Concerning being a millionaire by knowing how RAM prices are going to react can be explained in 2 possible ways.

1. RAM is traded as a commodity which means if you can tell what RAM prices are going to do you can become a millionaire.
2. Ram moves up and down much like a stockmarket can move up and down. Knowing when the stockmarket will go up and down will also make you rich.

Soulflyfan, you are just thinking too hard on this one. 😉
