When was the last time chip prices didn't go up before and around
Christmas time? Every year just before the big rush is on to buy new
machines or upgrade the 486 for the new game/os software purchases.
So if you don't need memory yet don't let this scare tactic worry you
by mid to late jan. the price should be back down.

With that said you never know for sure the price may stay up if there
is a chip shortage but over the last several quarters mfg. have been
staying ahead well enough to keep prices down so I'm waiting until
jan-feb to buy.
