Hi Rick, just another case of manipulation. DRAM prices are not dropping unless analysts want them to, not to mention the stab INTC took just to keep the Naz down long enough for the Houses to gather their eggs. We should ride High in the saddle tomorrow. V World DRAM Price] DRAM Chip Spot Prices Rise in Europe, Asia September 6, 2000 (TOKYO) -- The 30-day (July 20 to Aug. 18) rolling average prices of 128Mb DRAM microchips (PC133, 16M x 8) for large-volume users registered US$15.82 in North America, US$16.04 in Europe and US$14.87 in Asia, according to a DRAM price survey conducted by ICIS-LOR. Compared to the 30-day rolling average prices up to Aug. 11, the prices remained unchanged in North America, while they rose 1.79 percent in Europe and increased 2.88 percent in Asia. ICIS-LOR is based in London, Houston and Singapore. As for memory modules, the spot prices for 128MB DIMMs (PC133) declined by 1.28 percent from the previous week to US$131.73 in North America, while they fell 1.27 percent to US$131.79 in Europe and declined 1.13 percent to US$132.55 in Asia. Notably, the U.S. PC market witnessed a deteriorating growth rate. Also, PC manufacturers adjusted their purchases of memory devices depending on the prices, because they increased inventories as buffers against a possible supply shortage.
