Been wondering just why in the world desktop memory (DDR2 RAM in particular) seem to have doubled in price these past few weeks? This is apparently due to tight supply in DDR2 and DDR2 inventory replenishment from some PC-OEMs, as reported by DRAMeXchange in announcing that worldwide DRAM Revenue has increased 40.7% in the past quarter. Well, it's no wonder that it did--since the prices have risen of course you'd see an increase in revenue. What's not mentioned is when the tight supply of DDR2 RAM is going get fixed so consumers don't have to pay the price of the blunders of the vendors themselves. Hopefully, everything becomes well in time for the holidays, when most of us plan on upgrading some part of our PCs, which may of course include upgrading the memory.
