How come memory prices have increased?

[joey2cool]

I was jus looking at buying some extra RAM for my pc today, and i was looking at the same kit i bought in January, Patriot GSeries, and i noticed that the price has gone up like 20%, why??

Its not just my memory either, it seems to have increased across the board!

supply & demand, there is a thread in the memory section talking about it
