When are good memory prices and availability going to return?

Cant find Dominator platinums for a decent price anywhere, OCUK are out and also out on the GSkill I would want also.

I know the Hynix fire caused prices to shoot up but any idea when things will go back to normal?

There is no normal, only current

It's still pretty cheap. £35 for 4GB of RAM ain't that bad. Or maybe you don't remember standard DDR prices back in the day?

Hang on a minute, just let me consult my crystal ball. Lol.

Don't think ram prices are actually all that bad considering, but expect a probable price rise soon for Xmas - they like to cash in....

Wasn't too long ago that I bought 8Gb for I believe less than £20 new from OCUK

I remember paying £120 to double my RAM to 8mb. I was like a dog with two tails when DX2 processors arrived.

Oh, happy days.

I remember I've bought 2x4 GB G.Skill DDR3 1600 CL9 a little bit used on Ebay for 32-34 quids, ~18 months ago. It was really big luck as it was price hole, as I remember ;-)
