Ram prices are falling again

wip3out · Post by **wip3out** » Mon Apr 08, 2002 8:11 am

From a few sources I have at a major UK Computer Hardware store the ram prices are on the decrease. They say to expect around 15 dollars off the curent memory prices within a week or two.

I do not have solid proof of this and I am just taking their word for it. However the price of DDR Ram in the store where I buy from have dropped by about 15 US dollars in the last few weeks so hopefully it will be true and keep falling.

yeh I bought my ram last september/october for stupid prices $40 for the 256 DDR I have now and $70 for 512 PC133 SDRAM.

Ever since I've been holding out for the memory prices to fall again. I'm a bit of a bargain hunter.

Yeah, me too. I would love to see prices at that again. If they get in the $40s, I'm going to get another stick of 256Mb Crucial.
