Are we saying that RAM is going to get cheaper for the consumer, or more expensive?
I can't get to grips with the supply and demand thing when it comes to RAM, it all seems to be backwards.
Demand was high, so the prices went sky high, then DDR3 was announced, the prices dropped, everyone bought loads of DDR2 for peanuts, now things have slowed down again, shouldnt the prices drop?
Didn't that court case with Samsung have a huge detrimental effect on the RAM market?
I think RAM is effected by how many chips have been stockpiled. That article made things as clear as mud as well, on one hand they mention the stockpile, combined with OEMs demands dropping, which would make me think its going down in price.........but then they mention the samsung plant moving away from making RAM for now, which might offset that...
Plus we have the DDR3 effect kicking in (as always happens with new RAM)............Until that is mainstream, DDR2 should remain cheap, once DDR3 is mainstream and most plants start pumping it out the prices of it will fall fast and the price of DDR2 will start slowly rising.........
