DRAM price crashes through $2 – Memory Bargins To Be Found!
Users looking to add more DRAM (dynamic RAM) to their PCs are likely to continue to see bargains throughout May and June, as prices of the memory chips continue to crash. Contract prices of the chips have fallen 67 percent since the start of the year, when they were fetching $5.95 each. Today they are just $1.94 each, which is a huge price decrease and why memmory has become so cheap.
It’s great news for users. Falling DRAM rates can help offset recent increases in prices for LCD (liquid crystal display) panels, and keep PC prices in check. Users wanting to boost their system speed can also add more DRAM at a low cost. These prices aren’t likely to last longer than the next few months. At $1.94 each, the chips are well below the $2.50-$3.00 cost of production for chip makers, and they’ll likely shift their production strategies in order to reverse the decline. The second half of the year is also the strongest for PC sales, another factor that could stop the current downtrend.
