Hey, look how rapidly the memory chips prices get down! Just a week ago (see this news story) I wrote that the 128Mbit memory chips overcame the $3 bar, and now this number has got down to $2.5!

I believe that the graphs aren’t necessary this time, as not so much time has passed since the last mention of the pricing situation. Just to refresh your memory I would like to mention the minimums according to DRAMeXchange: now you can buy 128Mbit DDR266 chips for $2.4, and 128Mbit PC133 chips – for $2.2.

As for 256Mbit chips, the situation here is a bit different though also very easy to explain. The lowest you can get DRR266 chips at is $6.3 per piece (that means that the cost of 1Mbit is higher here than in case of 128Mbit chips). and the price of Pc133 chips is even higher: $7.2, because the chips are quite new and moreover, the manufacturers are little by little moving from PC133 towards DDR SDRAM.
