Last week there was much talk about the failed acquisition of Hynix (sp?) by Micron and how Micron was going to "drive them out of business" by dropping their prices.

Don't lecture me about "they have to eat too." I frankly don't care. I'd love another 512mb of DDR memory in my main box...Just not paying $165 for it.

thanks

Thank you, Gregor7777. I now know significantly more than I did before you graced me with such a wealth of valuable information.

Crucial 512 MB PC2100 is down to $140 with the coupon on their website, $55 for 256 MB. I don't know how much lower you are expecting them to go but IMHO those are pretty decent prices compared to a couple of months ago.

No prob.

To be honest, I don't see any dramatic dip in price anytime soon. I think these mem manufacturers like turning a profit for once. Just my outsider opinion though.

Saw this article over at DigiTimes:

Hynix quits flooding supply, in talks with Samsung to stabilize DRAM prices


<< According to DRAM distributors, Hynix is hoping that the cooperation with Samsung to stabilize prices would encourage Micron Technology to follow suit and discontinue flooding the market with excess supply. Whether the price decline will be effectively controlled will depend on Micron?s cooperation.

DRAM suppliers indicate that the status of DRAM prices will depend the PC industry: if it revives, DRAM prices will have a chance of climbing back to previous highs, but if it continues to slumber, DRAM prices may slide back down to the lows of last year.

I am considering a 512 mb stick of PC2700 TRUE Samsung memory for about $140 total with shipping for my new rig. I think that price is fair. Considering last month it was hard to find a good name brand stick of 512 mb DDR pc2100/2700 under $200.

Well, in July 2001, I paid $84 shipped for 512mb of Crucial PC2100 (2x256mb sticks). I know it can go lower than it is now. But, but, but, I do agree that the current prices are not bad. I'd just like to see them lower (wouldn't we all?)

No one knows the answer to that question. Even the "insiders" don't know for sure. They may have a much better clue than you or I about which way prices are most likely going to trend, but there are just too many factors involved to know the future of memory prices. It's just like the stock market. No one knows. Anyone who says they do know (even an insider) is lying. They can't know, there're just guessing, now matter how educated that guess may be. They could very well (and most likely would) be wrong. Even if they did happen to guess right, how would you have any way of knowing That THEY were the person out of all those claiming to know who was actually right? Memory prices are decent right now. My opinion (worth close nothing, but still voiced anyway ) is that if you really need more memory, just buy it now. If you can wait, then do so and see where the prices go. If they do go down then great, more memory for less money is what we all want. But be prepared, they might go up and you might have to make the choice of doing without or spending much more than you would have now.

I hope the prices go down again. I still remember about 5 months ago (after prices just shot up), I found a major online vendor selling Corsair PC2100 512MB ECC Registered sticks for $85 (they forgot to update the price). Ordered two, and after a bit of haggling, they honored the order.

Nack
