Dunno, that could just be the inertia you usually see with J-curves.  The
faster turnover stuff appears to be getting dearer a bit quicker than the
larger modules, but it should even out in a few weeks.

There is evidence that some prices have started spiralling upwards again,
but I still can't see them ever approaching the levels that we saw here
until a few months ago.  Screw the RAM, I want 17" monitor prices to
