PT, Re: "What struck me as funny was that this seemed to imply that it was purely market forces which were limiting the progress of memory speeds - as if a memory which offered higher performance couldn't command a premium price."

Sadly, there is a grain of truth to that. Funny as it sounds, the consumer market knows megabytes for memory and megahertz for processors. Introduce lower memory latencies or higher memory bandwidths, and the less informed (read: majority) of consumers don't really care. "Megabytes Sells": we can call it McMannis' Corollary.
