Why is RAM so cheap?
This is a discussion about Why is RAM so cheap? in the Windows Hardware category; Okay, I just bought 128mb of RAM for $88AUS. That's about $45US. What's the deal? Has someone flooded the market?

Thats some dumping actions by taiwan and korea memory giants, to clear up stocks as well as to make way for the upcoming memory tansitions to DDR and RDRAM
BTW, I got mine 128MB stick at US$35, they are dumping at US$2 for each 64Mb ram chip, so the baseline is around US$33-35 for a 128MB stick
