Prices up - what gives???

I’m ready for my second build. I will probably match my first build (Sonota II, A8N5X, AMD 3700+ SD, CORSAIR 2x512, Seagate 250G) but will change the video card since NewEgg no longer sells the EVGA 6800 GS CO SE – looking at the EVGA 7600 GT.

But what’s up with the prices??? The AMD 3700+ is now selling for $235. I bought it for $213 on 3/28. Pretty sure that was not a sales price. RAM is up too. What gives???

Ram price usually not stable because of the silicon price

That, and regular DDR prices are steadily rising. It's being phased out by DDR2

Perhaps limited supply of the 3700+? Everyone wants one of those - they give you the best performance for the price.

Part of it is probably related to the high gas prices driving up transportation costs.

Newegg fluctuates their prices. I would suspect it has to do with supply/demand more than anything.
