    It's only going to get worse in the next few months. With Taiwan's earthquake incident, production on many computer parts including RAM are going to be in real shortage. We will definitely feel the pinch closer to Xmas and prices will rise. Expect for price drops around spring next year.

    Yep, it's true.
    If you want to buy a car, sell some 128 dimms. Be very carefull. If you can wait, don't buy ram. If you can't, find the most cheap ones, after a long search and grab them!
    They gonna be more expensive, due to the earthquake in Taiwan. Be very carefull, all of you.

    Memory prices were up 300% before the earthquake. Now they are going up more.

    It is because of a couple things. with AMD going 200Mhz, and Intel going RAMBUS, The memory manufacturers are gearing up to buy all new equipment one way or the other.

    And the glut of PC100 is over.
