14 DAY TRIAL // If you were going to buy a memory product for Christmas, you might just want to do it now instead of waiting any longer, because their prices started to go back up.
Hopefully it won't be a lightning fast process, not like what happened to HDDs when they doubled or tripled in price, but factories seem to be have finally succeeded in sending chip prices hiking.
It isn't just any percentage either, but a full 10%, for 1 Gb DDR2 at least, while 2 Gb DDR3 went up by 3%.
This is a good news for makers of memory, but not as great for consumers, who never actually have a cause to feel sad about products being cheap.
DRAM suppliers were able to get the quotes to rise because they deliberately cut production, so memory products are probably going to keep getting more and more expensive by the end of the year and probably beyond that too.
