Prices from our supplier have gone through the roof.

ya, a few of the ram makers decided to close their extra capacity. I expect that ram will remain at this price (perhaps higher) for a while now. It was being sold at a loss before...

I think CompUSA is still selling it cheap. Haven't checked in a few days though

Through our vendor, MA LABS, here are the prices for PC133 SDRAM


PC133 32M $7
PC133 128M $26
PC133 256M $50
PC133 512M 64X64 Non Registered $97
PC133 1G 128X64 Non Registered $250

I couldn't believe the price of RAM! Not too long ago I got a 256MB stick of crucial for $37-ish (maybe it was $42-ish) -now same stick is $108.89 blahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I got 2 512 chips a few months ago for $60 each, now from the same place, the same chip is $150.
My advice would be to go search on ebay. A guy name Honest Abe Memory has some good stuff.

glad I bought when I did then :) I'd been putting off a memory upgrade for a while till going out and getting some last month

I'm glad the prices are finally going up again. You wouldn't believe how much money I lost when the prices started dropping.

I'm not a very good investor sometimes.

From what our account rep at Crucial is telling us, it is going up even higher.

Anyone got an eta of when it will drop? :confused:

When it first started rising after Christmas, I presumed it would have fallen again by Summer... maybe I'm wrong =/.

My wife always says she wouldn't give two cents for my memory.

compusa prices are expected to nearly double over the next few weeks

in the general market, the prices had bottomed out back in november-december and beginning of jan..

then they started climbing during jan and are now sky rocketing upwards
