Looks like RAM has finally stopped dropping in price, much to the ease of mind of semiconductor makers.
After over a year of nearly constant price decline, chip prices are finally stabilizing.
Elpida, one of the major suppliers of such chips, decided to lower its output, to alleviate the oversupply problem.

Rambus has been locked in a lawsuit against Micron and Hynix over whether or not the latter two conspired to keep its RDRAM out of the market through price fixing.
Now, a verdict has finally been reached, one that, though it may and will be appealed, sided with the defendants.
During the late nineties, Rambus was t... |
