When are Ram prices coming down?

[Kumagoro]

They are still going up which is doing my nut, any news on when things will be better? £70 for generic 512 pc3200 bollocks to that.

[turkster]

Yeah i noticed the prices had gone up a lot since i ordered 2 sticks of Corsair XMS Pro about 10 days ago,they are now worth nearly £70 more

Clearly got that one in just in time.

they are now worth nearly £70 more

Claim they were faulty, send them back and demand a refund at current market value

[menthel]

And then pay current market price for new stuff?

[5cupa]

i hear its gonna keep going up till end of may. but common a 512mb stick used to £110 not that long ago

Claim they were faulty, send them back and demand a refund at current market value

Definitely worth trying.

Claim they were faulty, send them back and demand a refund at current market value

surely thats illegal?

[Falcon2004]

surely thats illegal?

The way they decide to change prces so frequently probably is too :@

[Clingy]

Incredibly overpriced when you consider the component prices. See how much other hw has dropped in price (hard disks, gfx cards etc).

Claim they were faulty, send them back and demand a refund at current market value

Surely you'd have a hard job persuading them to refund at current market value?

Anyway i need my RAM

[Falcon2004]

send them back and ask for replacements,they send you an invoice at the current price with the total discounted so you get them free (replacements) then you send them back again,claim that you dont trust them anymore and ask for a refund. (Show them the newinvoice with the current value )

ERM NO NO NO NO....

Pen drives DO NOT use volatile memory, they are all solid state that keep their data without power.

The price will come down when demand subsides and supplies increase. At the moment though, the DRAM manufacturers aren't in any particular hurry to ramp up DRAM production again, because they're quite happy making flash memory at the moment.

The recent run of low priced DRAM was good for us as consumers, but ultimately the RAM chips were selling for cost price or below, and DRAM companies can't stay in business that way.

Read the Inquirer, that usually has some good commentary on the DRAM situation (often cribbed from iSuppli, whatever that is).
