DRAM chips, the most common type of computer memory, witnessed stabilized prices in past two months after the recession that struck the chipmakers most of the year. Therefore, the memory chips for computers are short in supply as chipmakers slashed capacity and capital spending.

DRAMeXchange predict that consignment of PCs would increase 13 percent next year, dominated by notebooks, with 22.5 percent growth to 160 million units, and pared-down netbooks, set to rise 22 percent to 35 million units.

"DRAM will likely face a serious shortage in 2H10 triggered by the hot PC sales", DRAMeXchange said.

"The DRAM price decline will likely be eased in 2010. That is, DRAM vendors will have a great opportunity to remain in profit for the whole year", said Top U. S. memory chipmaker, Micron (MU. N) on Tuesday.

While capital expenditure by DRAM vendors is growing in 2009, and will reach between $10 billion to $12 billion between 2011 and 2012, consignment of 2010 PC year after year growth could reach to13 percent.

The DRAM Exchange shows the trend for DDR3 one gigabit chips which is higher than the cost to make the chips and indicate DRAM companies are likely to return to profitability they hope.
