Yup. Smarter people than you or I running the companies. Regarding the DDR3 thing, they're (late) in the process of halting DDR3 production and replacing it with DDR4 production. Diminished availability has always made the prices rise. You simply bought your sticks during an overproduction period.

Memory pricing is going up because there is a higher demand for the chips. So yeah, RAM pricing has been going up across the board for a while now.

There's something called supply and demand. It can be good or bad, depending on the situation.

'Fanboyism is stupid' - someone on this forum.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

Yes, memory pricing is going up and the expectation is that there won't be a decrease until 2017Q4.

Thus, from the war of nature, from famine and death, the most exalted object which we are capable of conceiving, namely, the production of the higher animals, directly follows. There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.
