These look pretty cheap to me :

I'd go with the Crucial memory but you'd probably be ok with the
cheapest of the lot as well.

It might be because DDR3 has been introduced and some fabs are using
capacity to make DDR3, instead of DDR2, so supply hasn't gone up, which is
usually what makes prices go down.

 and to top it off, memory densities don't seem to be increasing... at least
 not quickly.  Is this due to the fact that most people are still on a 32-bit
 OS and cannot really take advantage of 4 Gb RAM or is it because 4Gb is
 really enough for almost everyone?
