DRAM about to make a comeback
Nibble
Optimistic report of the year
Wednesday, 25 February 2009, 11:27
WHILE the DRAM market is sinking faster than NASA carbon dioxide satillite, analyst firm IC Insights thinks it is about to make a comeback.
In a recent report IC Insights expects that the wave of supply destruction will more closely align with other types of memory and prices will get better.
The analysts predict that if the world economy sorts itself out at the end of the year so will DRAM and all will be well. µ

That is a pretty big "if".
There is a very big upgrade market now for high density dram with 8gb being common place for laptops and 16gb(4 ram slot motherboards) and 24gb (for 6 slot nehalem motherboards) . Also 128 gb and 256/512gb SSDs need lot of flash as they become mainstream so good times for dram/flash.
Just wondering why you would need an excess of 4 gig of system memory for anything other than a file server.
You need that much to run Vista's bloatware. :-P
What? No love for the Vista haters?
Don't be silly, you can *NEVER* have enough RAM. Use it as a RAM disk if you have "too much," but more is always better. I don't want to feel the need to ever close any program I open. In fact, if you need a pagefile at all, you don't have enough for your needs.
