Probably still astronomical, because the RAM being produced is specifically designed for use in large data-centers, not PCs.

This is a classic guns/butter problem. "We're using all our industrial resources to produce guns" doesn't mean the price of butter drops when the gun market falls through.

    Server RAM is not that much different.

    I was wondering about that. I mean the sticks are different (consumer preferring faster ram, enterprise preferring an extra chip for ECC). But at the root it's all dram that should be the same underlying silicon by and large.

    But, I won't say for certain because I've never really looked into ram production in that level of detail.
