I wonder what ram prices will look like shortly after the bubble pops.
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.
This doesn't make sense because the reverse would be true, and it's not. If they were so different an explosion in server demand wouldn't strongly affect consumer products.
