One tech guy in a magazine says that RAM is the lowest its been in years. Fry's had 256MB PC-133 for $128 last week. He predicts that RAM will eventually go back up again and won't be this cheap til about 2003.

What do you guys think? Is now a good time to upgrade/build a new computer?

I'm sure the prices on RAM will go up sooner or later. RAM is one hardware that you see much price changes on.....

I think the big reason is they're making room for 150Mhz and higher! Getting rid of the "slower stuff"

Yeah, I was just going to say something along Randy's line. That while RAM prices are currently low, I think they will stay low since it is the slow stuff.

Then again, why take chances? I'm going to buy some in the next 2 months or less.
I will go the cheap route while the industry tries to figure out what they will make a standard.
