Specifically wondering about DDR3.
Has anyone heard anything that might indicate the prices coming down?

That's what they said about DDR2 about a year ago and it is still very cheap today....
Electronics buyers can expect DRAM prices to rise through the rest of the year because of production cutbacks, rising demand and migration to higher-density, higher-priced parts.
The average price of a DRAM was about $1.27 in the first quarter and then increased to $1.44 in the second quarter, says researcher IC Insights. The price will rise to $1.63 in the third quarter and then to $1.73 in the last quarter of 2009. For the entire year, the average DRAM price will be $1.54, according to the researcher.
The recent fixed-trade price of mainstream 1Gb 128Mx8 667Mhz DDR2 was $1.41, which is a 5.2 percent increase compared to early this month at $1.34, and a 15.6 percent jump from a month ago at $1.22.
The price has nearly doubled compared to the $0.81 price it hit in the second week of January this year.
