My latest news is: the earthquake almost has nothing to do with RAM price increase.
In fact, RAM price here (Australia) already dropping since it was rising up more
than 200%. One of my clients just come back from Taiwan, he said in Taiwan, RAM
price has only changed small amount, even after the earthquake.

I strongly believe that the price rising was caused by people (wholesale men)
rather than manufacture.
