A DIMM Future for RAM Bundles
VeggiePossum23 writes "PC WORLD has an article about rising concerns that computer manufacturers will be cutting the amount of bundled RAM they sell with their PCs owing to rising prices of dynamic memory. The article claims that spot pricing shows a rise of almost $15.00 for 256MB modules of DDR DRAM in some markets. According to a Reuters article on ZDNet, the price rises are caused by shortage of memory chips, and this is causing the prices of memory to raise at the fastest rate in four years. Even Intel is said to be worried at the overall trend of price hikes for all types of memory. The Inquirer has a similiar article from a couple of weeks ago which includes a chart showing how the third-party memory manufacturers are doing. Kingston tops the chart for revenue."
Just checking, dumping is bad when other countries do it to the US, but it's OK when the US does it to other countries?
Naturally. Just as it was evil when Iraq invaded Kuwait for oil, but fine for America to invade Iraq for oil^Wfreedom. And just as it's evil terrorism when Palestinians blow up Israeli kids, but when Israelis blow up Palestinian kids that's an unfortunate but unavoidable casualty in the war on terror.
What did you expect - freedom, justice, and respect for human rights? Hah. Welcome to the real world, dustmite, I hope you can afford a good lawyer.
