Price fluctuations on computer equipment?

Prices on RAM, and to a slightly lesser extent, LCDs, seem to fall much more slowly than the prices on hard drives, Flash-based products (UFDs and SSDs), Motherboards and CPUs. Is there a "valid" reason for this? (Manufacturing costs, difficulty of making it, et cetera..) Is it just another "price holding" thing?

I know that LCD makers have been called out on price holding a couple times now, but I wonder how much it's still going on. Also, RAM prices have actually climbed quite a bit in the same time that prices on all other computer parts apparently have fallen drastically. Does anyone have some insight into this?

DRAM is a commodity and follows a supply and demand cycle. More demand = higher prices.

LCD follow the same pattern.

The reason is that there are only a few players that actually make the LCD panels and DRAM chips used on the monitors and RAM.

Though, you are also correct that there have been some price fixing in the industry. There was a suit a few years ago that was brought on by the DRAM price fixing.

price fluctuations on various computer equipments such ram, hard disk, mother board, processor has let to mislead the consumer so i think the prices should be globely applicable.
