Does anyone know what accounts for the precipitous decline in DDR prices (or DRAM in general)? I am a little annoyed by the fact that RAM I purchased five months ago (and have yet to install, incidentally) is now a whopping $50 cheaper. Given the decline in the dollar, conventional wisdom would have expected imported electronic goods like RAM to increase in price. I need a good microeconomic model here. . .

I am sure glad that RAM has not increased in price, considering I paid thousands of dollars for 8 megabytes in 1990 (or '91) (for a sampler keyboard). 1 gigabyte would have been approximately $250,000 using those prices that I paid back then.
The current drop in DRAM prices was predicted awhile ago. I also heard they're going to get even cheaper in the coming months.

It happens. Over the course of owning my G4 for 5 years, the price for PC-100 flutuated wildly. I bought RAM 3 times, and each time managed to hit a low price point. Heck, I bought a 128 stick 2 months before I even got the computer!
If the trend is down, then I'm a happy guy, since I'll be buying PC-3200 for the G5.
