Memory prices

[masscrazy]

Are the memory prices going up?

I'm considering a new machine towards the middle of the year. Thinking about buying the RAM now, as the prices can only go up now, and its 'seems' they are already?

Is this correct or can we expect it to stay the same for a while yet?

Did you miss this thread?

Memory Prices Rising Steeply (I think)

Certainly did.

Except thats from September. I've noticed them going down up til the new year.

Its now going up i've noticed. Otherwise since september its gone down im sure.

The thread was started in September last year.

If you actually read through it you'd see there have been several posts in the last couple of weeks regarding higher prices.

Sorry I see that now.

I already bought the gskill 8gb x2 few days back. When a competitor had already raised their price from 37 to 41. I looked at another competitor (they sell books too) and they were at 37.49 bought 2 and now its 42.29 there.

Glad i bought it intime.

if anything i think hdd prices and memory will drop further, there was massive production delays which caused the hikes in prices back then, flooding in thailand etc etc, saying that the HDD market still isnt recoving fast enough for my liking at the rate im filling my storage drives

I hear that. In desperate need for a 3tb at lease. But I do believe the time has come for RAM, it can only go up and is.
