1GB DDR RAM anomaly

[Eric Legge]

Does anyone know why a 1GB DDR RAM module costs so much more than a 512MB module?

Crucial.com sells 512MB PC2700 DDR for around $80 and 1GB for $500+.

I think it's just more expensive to make higher density memory chips.

Its also due to the fact that most of the demand for such chips is currently only in the enterprise server arena, and not on the home desktop machine.
