I don’t even know the real reason “why”, when DDR RAM is cheap, DDR3 is cheap and DDR2 is HIGH, makes no sense to me whatsoever. Maybe there’s some secret with DDR2, who knows.

I’m afraid this is all I can respond to at this point. There’s no mystery, and it comes right back to basic economics; supply and demand.

DDR2 is old tech. There’s still plenty of it around, but many people are less likely to add more DDR2 RAM to their aging systems, and more likely to buy new systems. DDR3 is, and has been, the main RAM used in systems for years, and it makes no sense to manufacture tons of the stuff. This means that it’s more expensive to produce, as most places produce DDR3 now. Higher production costs and less market interest means that it makes perfect sense for DDR2 to be expensive, especially more than DDR3, which at the moment is being eaten up easily, possibly even greedily with modern systems that can take 16gb or more (leaving aside whether or not most people actually need that or not).

I hope that explains it.
