DRAM prices continue to drop
DRAM prices continue to drop

MEMORY WATCH site DRAM Exchange said prices of contract memory in December will continue to drop with a 512Mbit DDR2 chip costing a piffling 80 cents.
Downward pressure will take those prices even lower, predicted the site, as a result of poor demand.
A 1GB DDR2 667 module currently costs $20 and that is likely to fall too, as nothing in the spot or the OEM market looks like spurring extra sales.
This of course means that if you need to upgrade your own PC, things have never been cheaper. DRAM's been down the whole of the year and the Dramurai must be getting somewhat desperate by now. ยต

I've already asked for another kit of Corsair 2x1GB C4-PC2-6400 DDR2 for Christmas in anticipation that prices will further drop.
I can remember years ago paying $320 for 128MB stick of PC100. Today I saw 1Gig stick of PC6400 for $9.99.
I sure wish I had waited a bit...I spent over $300 on some DDR2 SODIMMs....which are now under $30.
I remember paying $240 CDN for a 4 meg stick and thinking it was a great deal since it had been going for $400 for 4 megs. 

At those prices, the 2 gigs of DDRII I just bought would be over $16,000. Ahh... memories....

How about $600 for a 100 megabyte scsi drive.

How about my neighbour that paid $800 for a ten megabyte hard drive the size of a small car. ;*)

...the reason pc memory is so cheap is because of what they charge for apple memory. Thanks, dewds...
Back in my day we had to store programs on 110 baud Teletype printouts. Sometimes you couldn't even tell an Oh from a One.
