Memory Prices.

Hi Guys
How much longer do you guys think that memory prices will stay this low ? are they going to go up for Christmas or do you think they will stay around the same price as they are now. not sure if i should be buying now or wait a little longer to see if they drop a bit more

Well I can't see them getting much lower.

But I've been thinking that for the past 6 months

Samsung Electronics, which released its earnings results for the third quarter recently, said DRAM prices maintained weak from September as industry players were able to source sufficient stock to feed demand. The number one memory maker forecast that DRAM prices should maintain weak through the rest of 2007.

The accumulated price drop of branded 512Mb DDR2 chips nose dived by 56% in the third quarter, whereas the same-specification eTT parts saw prices slashed by 92% in the same period.

Possibly the branded memory prices may drop further but it's more than likely right now is the best time to buy.

If they go up it will be only a few quid. I know ram moves up and down in price. But somthing that is 55 quid wont jump to 70 quid.

TMNT have affiliated themselves with a known animal rights militia group and are apparently targeting memory manuafacturers because of ram abuse. This could seriously increase memory prices if the TMNT take any action, my 6 year old nephew was giving me alll the gen this evening best to buy now!
