You think DDR2 prices will go up?

[tigersty1e]

So with people waiting for the intel price cuts, and the insuing need for RAM, do you think ddr2 prices will go up?

Well there certainly isn't any reason not to have 2gb now...

I think the prices will remail at these levels until DDR3 becomes more standardized.

No, I think they will either stagnate or very slightly drop, slowly. Most fabs have changed over to DDR2 now and the market is flooded with RAM. Prices will go down for a while as everyone competes to outdo each other, before DDR3 starts to take hold (I give it six months) and manufacturers start moving over to that.

2gb? for $160 I am getting 4gb. RAM prices have had the insane drop. Now why can't gas do this.

We won't see DDR3 standardized for a while, not until Dell starts using it.

They'll stay either the same, or slightly rise over the summer period, and then drop off a little again towards winter IMO

I am considering buying a few gigs now because the price is cheap. I am going to revamp my system when Intel drops their prices in july.

It is not a horrible idea, especially if you are buying 667mhz. If you do end up over-paying, it can't be by too much.
