In the meanwhile, as if on purpose, the prices of the memory chips grew up a little bit, which is the first precedent during the last two months (the data from DRAMeXchange). The minimal price of PC133 SDRAM chips (128Mbit) is now around $2.1 per piece (on May 13 it was $1.85). And DDR chips of the same capacity cost around $2.3 ($2.1 on May 13). PC133 SDRAM 256Mbit cost $6.3 and DDR266 - $5.9. However, there is no need to worry. Compared with the prices detected on May 8, these ones are anyway lower, especially the prices of DDR266 256Mbit chips, which are slowly getting the most popular products among the memory makers today. That is why we suspect that this slight increase could have been caused by the rumors we have already told you about.
