Hopefully.  I heard that the reason they went up is that one of the big
RAM manufacturing plants closed, trying to reduce the glut of memory
on the market.  If that's the case, it would tend to indicate a desire
by the memory manufacturers to have higher memory prices.  :-(  Not
that $750 is BAD for 512MB Corsair CAS2 ECC RAM -- it wasn't so long
ago that I paid more than that for 32MB (the month before memory prices
halved twice after Win95 didn't REALLY increase memory purchasing as
they expected).
