2361.172prices have jumped almost 20% in a week! ;-(SUBSYS::MSOUCYMentalmETALMikeTue Feb 04 1997 09:0110
    
    Just checked www.pricewatch.com for 16Mb EDO simms and they have gone
    UP to $62+ per simm now. Not very nice to see almost a $10 increase
    since last week eh? Rather quick to jump up so much so fast? I did read
    in the paper(s) something about 16mb part shortages or something like
    that over the past week....but certainly did NOT expect a $10/simm
    increase this quickly! I KNEW I should have bought it last week......
    ;-(
    
    
2361.173Look to the East...WHOS01::ELKINDSteve Elkind, Digital SI @WHOTue Feb 04 1997 12:153
    I read in the paper last week the Korean memory mfrs are going to cut
    back on production of 16MB RAMS.  This could trigger off speculative
    price increases.

    The Mercury News yesterday speculated that RAM prices will be VERY
    SENSITIVE to market perceptions and panic of many types. Price
    fluctuations of 20% will be foreseeable.
    
    HOWEVER, due to the nature of the beast, the long-term prognosis for
    memory is a DECREASE BY 30% over the next year. If you want to wait you
    will see 16Meg sticks for $40 next year... if you want to wait.

    Why is that? Are they ramping up production of 64MB RAMS? I guess it'll
    soon be time to start comparing prices for those!
