Memory Prices Can't Go Much Lower at This Point

We heard this before but we're hearing it again: memory chip and, by extension, memory module and kit prices can't go much lower than they are now.

Perhaps it's because of the minor rebound of some weeks back, or perhaps it is because consumers are just that unmotivated to buy a new memory product.

Either way, demand has remained sluggish and, even with manufacturers reducing production capacity, prices continued to either fall or stay flat at their already dismal level.

With things as they are now, if prices really manage not to fall any further, it will only be because there is not much room for that anymore.
