Since August, memory prices more than doubled. Why? Because Quimonda went bankrupt. With the help of government subsidies chip makers maintained price wars until a major competitor has knocked down. Memory chip makers have a few past stories of price fixing to rip customers, and that seems to be happening again. Once more people is paying high prices for crap memory.

This is the same thing that happened before Vista came out. Companies ramped up production & stockpiled too much RAM, and then prices went through the floor when no one bought it.

I wonder if a 1GB module of DDR3 will also hit the sub-$10 price mark?
