memory hike!

[shiato storm]

is it me or have memory prices jumped up hugely over the past week or so?
...damn, I was planning on buying some but looks like I could wait and save at least £25...can't belive its gone up so much...

[BUFF]

No, they have jumped in the last couple of weeks.
Now there is a rumour that Micron have had to scrap 10 thousand wafers & you know that won't be good for prices.
" 3-3.5 million 256Mbit equivalent DRAM chips, or about 1-1.5% of global monthly capacity."

This is bad news i was looking to get another 512mb soon too

[steve threlfall]

Yeah theres another thread about this somewhere. I went on to komplett the other day to find the 512 stick of TwinMos winbond 3200 was more than £30 what i was expecting :eeK:

This could cause gfx card prices to rise too.....

[grabbi_21]

Aye, I bought 2 x 512MB Twinmos Winbond from komplett a couple of months ago for £107 inc. del, its now over £160.

glad I don't need ram atm.

[dkmech]

Aye, I bought 2 x 512MB Twinmos Winbond from komplett in may for about £58 each. Then it was £90 each in september, then it went down again, now its up again. I also remember going away for summer and selling my 32mb sdram hoping to get more with a bit of cash when i get back and prices would have fallen. Did they fall? Hell no. So this aint the first memory price hike.

P.S. Sorry for nicking half your post. But it fits

[grabbi_21]

hehe, np. I was a bit out with the price after looking at the reciept.
