There is currently a cartel going on on ram ICs. Once the chinese offered the last american ram producing company( I forget it's name) to move its production to China, ram pricing started climbing, the company is healthy again and we are still seeing price hikes, so China is for once investing in homegrown production. My guess it will be no earlier than 2019 before we see prices dropping again.
