My advice is buy now.  About a month ago memory prices started rising 
(which
they generally do prior to the Christmas season).  I just paid $41.00 each
for 4M (At Chip Merchant) and that would have been in the low thirties a
month or so ago.  I'm told they will CONTINUE to increase until at least
December, possibly up to $50/4M.  This is apparently standard procedure, if
memory goes up, computer prices go up, and all those computers for 
Christmas
presents make the mfrs extra profits.  Then after all the sales, the prices
go back down.

America is a wonderful place isn't it!
