hi, waiting to buld a pc for almost a year, yet the high memory prices have been put on hold. does anyone know if prices will drop?
How much memory you intent to buy? 16/32/64GB? Because only that much would hold me off for a year lol

4 or 6 gig ddr3, but the prices are just way too much.
In a word, no. Not any time soon. Especially with the faltering pound and European economy in general.

Snooty is right. They're not obscenely priced at the moment. Prices will come down as supply of DDR3 increases, but they'll go up if currency exchanges get worse, so it's a balance of the two really.
I feel your pain but the truth is that tbh no one truly knows, the alternative i suppose is to keep your eye out for bargins and if you don't mind try ebay
Since almost everything is priced in $. The answer is no.
Eg.
Item cost = $100 . exchange rate $2=£1 = £50
Item cost = $100 . exchange rate $1.5=£1 = £66.67
Blame Gordon 'I like to spend money I dont have' Brown.
i have for the past 2 months, and sometimes the price goes way above what you pay new.
Have you thought about doing a few cheap upgrades on your current pc to keep you going, or is that out if the question
Memory can be had for an ok price second hand no?
Just check out hexus classifieds too, plenty of stuff for sale there memory wise.
Edit: except you need 100 posts...
IMHO a leader is a reflection of the people and your quote just confirms this.
The majority of the nation is living on credit unfortunately.
Too many people were living unsustainable lifestyles which were maintained by cheap credit. In the end many people have to take at least some of the blame themselves IMHO. Just because the banks offered cheap credit did not mean people had to take it.
It is just easier for people to blame the politicians for everything than take responsibility for some of their own financial decisions.

The majority of Hexus are living on last years RAM.

no politics here please ...
There was an oversupply of RAM last year and the year before and many of the companies were not making that much money as a result IIRC. Also before the sudden drop in the price of RAM there was also much price fixing happening AFAIK and I can still remember that 4GB of DDR2 was around £200 at least in late 2006 and early 2007.
