Demand is set to rise as Intel CPU prices are dropping and system manufacturers obtain stock to build up for Christmas, and supply could fall as suppliers switch manufacturing resources to making DDR3 memory. These are perfect conditions for prices to rise. Already it's getting difficult to find any Crucial stock for DDR2-800 or DDR2-1066 modules.
I wouldn't be to upset if I bought now and in a month prices had gone down another £5-10, but I would be gutted if I waited and they were £30-50 more expensive. Simply put, you stand to lose more than you stand to gain.
Yeah, I feel that your are right. Time to flash the cash.
Don't blame me if the prices drop thoughYeah, I feel that your are right. Time to flash the cash.
I can't believe they'll get any lower than this. And I couldn't find them anywhere else for less than £5 more a Gig. Anyway it's too late now. I've ordered 4 of the suckers.
