Samsung Has pled guilty to price fixing DRAM prices from 1999 to 2003.
While 300 million dollars seems like a hefty fine, I wonder what the profit was from this. My guess it's much higher. Does this mean RAM will be coming down in price? http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story.asp?guid=%7B4923C93A%2D77D8%2D4485%2DBF22%2D5FE55B7FCA78%7D&siteid=mktw&dist= _____________________

As expensive as RAM can still be, I'm amazed, recalling a time when 1 meg cost $1000 US.

I paid for 512k for my Apple IIgs in the late 80's/early 90's... cost over $200.
A couple weeks ago I paid for 512MB for my HP Pavilion... cost $79. |

I'm sort of a noob when it comes to RAM purchases. I paid 25 bucks a mb for 30 pin modules. I had to upgrade to 4mb (from 1mb) to get an old 386 to run AOL 2.5.

What are the chances that we're going to see some of this money? A victim gets a feeling of justification when a rapist is sentenced longer than a murderer. When companies get a slap on the wrist, I don't feel anything. Argyle. Especially when I payed out the ass for ram for years.
