"We could be seeing a fire sale of sorts. Are manufacturers getting their last hurrah out of old fab lines before a new generation of larger chips hits the market? I know that working 64Mbit and 256 Mbit memory chips were made over a year ago, and 1 Gbit chips are in the works.(this from press releases of the IBM/Thoshiba/Siemens joint projects) I have no idea when they will make their way into consumer market modules." I don't think that is an accurate picture, there are now hundreds of millions of machines out there that will need more memory but will not be able to take advantage of the new chips.
