A shortage of the main memory chips used in personal computers could send prices of the chips higher in the second half of this year, market researcher iSuppli warned on Monday. DRAM makers face two supply problems currently, an inability to obtain needed production equipment and tricky work implementing advanced new technology, iSuppli noted.
