Memory Prices?

Twist86 · 10-31-2009, 03:47 AM

So I was reading this post and I saw a guy paying $56 for 2x1GB sticks of Ram and I thought "RIP OFF" so I went to link my 2x2GB sticks I payed $40 for and they are $90 on newegg now.

What did I miss that increased memory prices of DDR2 so much??? It can't be being stopped production could it? Seems a little early to kill off DDR2 since not that many use DDR3 now.

There was an article about it in CPU i believe, the costs of the chips themselves went up due to a contract ending or something. Dont remember the specifics...

Yup i was pricing up some ram like last week and since then they have gone up alot on ebuyer,one 4gb set of pc6400 ddr2 i was looking at was £49.99...its now gone up to £69.99

You watch DDR ram go even higher!

I should have held the RAM I sold Russian777 about 3 months ago...good solid G. Skill 4GB set. I gave it away at $35 shipped. It cost half as much to ship it as I sold it for!

I just checked my memory and it now costs as much for one set as it did for 2 sets. £120 for 8GB of memory

Glad I got it when i did

I remember just over a year ago picking up some nice mushkin 4-4-4-12 ddr2 800(got nearly 1200mhz out of it too) for under $25 for a 2x1gb kit. Its probably about double that now...
