I have to disagree, RAM prices are cheap and getting cheaper. Last month I bought 2 chips from Best Buy.
Each was 128 Mb 2100DDR. I got them for $4.99 after rebate each.
Even if they went up 100% that would be $10 instead of $5.00
256 meggers are often available for $25. On todays Spoofee page there is a promotion which I am passing up as overpriced...$35 for 256 Mb.
Price pressure is definetly downward, only 2 years ago I was thrilled to get a 64Mb chip for $50!
