Memory prices are falling
Persistently low prices are expected in the area of system memory.
Anyone looking to buy system memory during this period is doing well, as DRAM prices have started to fall and are not over yet as they predict a further drop in prices. Prices have fallen 8% in a week and as manufacturers believe this situation will not change for a while, they have started launching the remaining stocks in stock. There are manufacturers who return to high-volume production of DDR2 because they only produce losses on the DDR3 line. The line also includes Elpida, which says another 30% drop in prices is expected.
In Europe, a 2 × 2 GB DDR3-1333 memory set can be purchased for as little as € 48. Considering the possibility of further price reductions, it is definitely worth investing in even a larger amount of RAM.
