Memory Prices Going UP!!!!

[HousERaT]

According to a little email I got form Monarch this morning it appears memory prices (DDR & DDR2) will be going up. Now is as good a time as any to get that extra gig of memory for your system.

Did they say why?

reefa madness warned me about this like all the way back in june or may. he said if your gonna get more ram, get it now, the prices will rise in the summer. i guess he was right.

[GáTê©rÀ$Hë®]

Even the store i buy from just announced price increase
on CPU n RAM due to AUS$ weakening vs US$.
I live in AUSTRALIA btw.

Is this seasonal? Or just a normal fluctuation?

[d94]

ill be buying 2 gigs of ram in about a week and a half.. is that too late?

[trueplaya4ever8]

Hopefully not for you at least.

[HousERaT]

Did they say why?

Nothing in the email said why. My impression was that it was part of the normal cycle.

[Janus67]

I think it is just normal cycle, but HR is right, get the ram while you still can (heh rhymage).

[Flip-Mode]

Damn bank account is empty......

[Sentential]

Dram companies have over suppied and have scaled back. Thats the cause for the price increase

[flixotide]

RAM prices are just as corrupted as oil and coffee prices these days. :shrug:

Edit: heck, even the farmers around here use some excuse to raise the price for national potato. "We got 2 mm of rain too much, makes the potatoes harvest worse than last year.. cough up the 10 bucks extra per kilo..".. "Erm, two weeks ago you were complaining this season was too dry?"... "oh, yes, but the...erm... *cough* erm.... oh dang it, here, your potatoes, now scram Kiddo".

yeap. "we know the demand is there so let's cut production in order to justify driving up the cost". :rolleyes:

Hey the XP costs $200, and thats where Bill Gates Billions came....

[sleepyzman]

I can absolutely confirm they are going up! example I bought 2 gig sticks directly from muskin 2 weeks ago and I just checked their site and thet went up $28 for the same set!

[Sir Golitech]

Yeah I just bought my OCZ 2x512 dual channel rev2 ram the other day for $244 CAN. and now it's up to $250, but that's nothing compared to it being at a price of $360 about 2 months ago. Man do I love this stuff.
