Just checked on 4GB (2X2GB) and 8GB (2X4GB) memory prices at Micro Center and compared them to what I paid the last time purchased there;
4GB $49.99 (now) $22.99 (11/18/12)
8GB $79.99 (now) $62.99 (06/06/13)
Above prices are for Crucial Ballistix Sport DDR3-1600 (PC3-12800) CL9 Dual Channel Desktop Memory Kit (Two Memory Modules) at MC. The “now” prices seem to be comparable with those of other brands at other dealers.
Why on earth are DDR3 memory prices rising while SSD/HDD and just about everything else are seeing falling prices? Should we be hoarding DDR3 memory?
