Why have DDR-2 prices gone through the roof?
It was only just recently when I could find some good OC sticks of 2x2GB for $50 on these forums, now it seems that RAM prices have been skyrocketing everywhere.
I don't think DDR-2 has fully been replaced my DDR-3 yet, since there are still many AM2/S775 boards out there that use DDR-2, and I think the technology is at that sweet spot (not too old, not too young) of its life where prices should be at a low spot. Can anyone fill me in?

The more standard DDR3 becomes, the more DDR2 will cost

There is a DRAM shortage across the board.
Some people blame it on Apple, who is ramping up iPod production for the Christmas season, but it's all really just supply/demand. Like usual, PC users are getting shafted.

the best bet would be to get an AMD AM3 processor or go i5/i7. the cost factor is the same as last year when the best thing was the 45nm quads
