Since the great DRAM price plummet of 2007, memory prices continue to be extremely low. It’s currently possible to pick up high capacity memory modules for very respectable prices. As the DRAM market is highly volatile, however, it’s possible that we could see prices jump within the next month, week, or even by the day. However, it has been about a year since prices dropped, and things have yet to “recover”, allowing prices to remain low. Regardless, continues to be a fairly good time to buy system memory.
The majority of the really good deals are for DDR2 memory, which has completely flooded the market and is available for ultra low prices (under $30 for 4 GB in some cases). With virtually no money to be made in DDR2 anymore, beyond high-end enthusiast modules, memory manufacturers are pinning their hopes on DDR3 to revive the market. Not that the situation is much better there, as 4 GB of solid DDR3-1333 memory can be had for about $70 on the low-end.
