DRAM Prices on an Upswing, Chipmakers Hopeful of an Early Recovery

The memory market is in desperate need of some good news, and it just might be getting it. Citing un-named industry sources, DigiTimes says Taiwan's DRAM chip suppliers are eyeing an early recovery as the spot price of DDR2 1Gb eTT chips continues to rise significantly.

DDR2 chips climbed 6 percent to close at $1.2 yesterday, and is up again slightly to $1.21 today. According to DRAMeXchange, estimated DDR2 contract prices will very likely rise anywhere from 15 to 20 percent sequentially in the second quarter of 2009, after having remained flat since February.

That means if you're looking to score one final DDR2 upgrade this year, now might be the best time to do so.

Well great advice for those with DDR2 platform, but in my opinion DD3 price will continue to drop as AMD is going steady with AM3 platform and Intel with its upcoming I5/P55 combo.

 Yeah go upgrade now... DDR2 is on the rise but DD3 will continue to drop. Again thanks for the great article.

I just bought 12GB of DDR3 a couple days ago.  Should last me quite a while.  Glad I got it now :)
