What has happened? In the space of a month the DDR-RAM prices have rocketed. I'm guessing its a combination of cuts to production, switches to DDR2700, and the emergence of the intel i845DDR chipset. Looks like its heading back to the ridiculous prices of two years ago (near £100 for a stick of RAM). I'm suprised given the drop in component sales over the last year.

PAINTBALL RULEZ!
Hey about a year and half ago, I spent $125 for 128mb Micron PC133 CAS3. So I wouldnt be complaining about how much you all are spending. I would gladly pay that much for that memory. If I could have spent that for memory when I bought this memory, I would have had a little left over for a bigger monitor.

I a story about this upcoming event on TechTV.
it's beacuse of Windows XP and some other new platforms causing a large demand for memory.
you can still get it cheap, but get it now if you want it beacuse the next couple months are gonna be alittle rockey.
Most memory manufacturers are expected to crank prices very shortly.
