Your RAM price prediction for Jan 2009?

[imac123]

Just got a new 24" imac a few weeks ago, and I know I will eventually upgrade to 4GB RAM. Question is... if I wait a few months and buy 4 GB sometime next yr... how much do you think the prices would have dropped by then?

Right now crucial's price is at about $110 (inc. shipping/tax)

OCZ has them for $68 after rebate & shipping

If the US dollar doesn't slide too much more, I'd expect
to see prices for Apple-specific 800MHz RAM fall to about
$15-$20 per GB. Today, it's running $25-$35 per GB:

DDR2 2 GB module prices are going up currently. Pretty hard to predict where they will be in 7 - 8 months.
