RAM Prices Are They Going Up or Down?
RAM Prices Are They Going Up or Down?
Man I just went to look for a cheap 4GB kit and I'm amazed. The cheapest 4GB DDR2 1066Mhz kit I found was ~$95 plus shipping at the Egg. For a long while there you could get a 2GB stick of the stuff for around $20. When is this stuff going to come out of the stratosphere and land back on earth?

i was looking at a 2x2 kit of GSKILL Ripjaws DDR3 1600, it was $85 on sunday, $105 on monday...

Yeah, that has been delaying my RAM upgrade since summer. Although reasonable deals do pop up occasionally.

I check dramexchange daily: http://www.dramexchange.com/
its annoying how ddr3s are supposed to go down as ddr2 climbs, but the fallout of 2009's economy means increased prices for everything :/

Re: RAM Prices Are They Going Up or Down?
I agree. It's insane.
I remember looking at a set of G.Skill Ripjaws. I think they were 1333mhz and ran $85. A month later they were up to $115! That's one hell of a jump. A $100 set of Corsair was up to $125. The only ones that haven't gone up are OCZ and they are only sub-$100 because of the MIR.
Not that I have a problem with OCZ. It's the only type of memory I have ever run and their tech support is top notch, even if their rebate system is slower than a frozen snail going uphill.
Hopefully DDR2 prices will spike up that high so I can get more for mine when I sell them.

RAM prices are really skyrocketing. When I bought my two 1GB sticks, they were about $22 on sale. Now it's at least $40 if not more. Unbelievable.

Bad news for DDR3

Thankfully I got a huge deal on my recent 3x2GB purchase, because there's no way I would've paid the retail price of $200+ 13% CDN tax for it.

Memory is slowly creeping up in price.
I was lucky and purchased 12 GB last summer, sold it on Ebay yesterday for almost twice what I paid ,lol.
never had that happen before.
