Memory prices continue to drop - Memory prices are at around US$5.50 for a 64Mbit SDRAM chip, and they will go down to US$4.50 before bottoming out. That equates to $44 and $36 for a 64MB DIMM respectively. I have to guess that prices will actually go well below $4.50 as some dealers try to clear out their inventory. Remember, DDR-SDRAM and RDRAM are starting to take over this year, so the demand for standard SDRAM in systems will begin to decline. There won't be too much of a decline until 2001, but Christmas buying season this year will be a memory mess with three types of memory out there. This makes gluts AND shortages all the more likely, but if we judge what prices will be like compared to last year's fiasco the memory makers will raise prices very high to maximize profits. My advice is to buy your SDRAM in the next few months after prices hit their low points. Posted Friday, February 25 ugeek.com Those are the prices for "brand" name chips.
