I'm an infrastructure architect and work with health care, local tax agency, they're all getting 25-30% inflated bills now for new hardware.
And what happens when smaller companies have to repair or scale their infrastructure and can't get affordable RAM?
I'd say if people aren't desperate already, they're about to be.
Correct, nobody will buy your 1GB stick of DDR2-speed RAM for the $100 it cost you to produce it.

That situation sucks but bringing up more obsolete fabrication isn't going to help. They can't compete with modern chips even when those modern chips have a 5x price penalty.
