DDR4 prices are going to drop?

I think they will, but it would be reassuring to hear that from you guys...

They've already dropped significantly throughout this year. Used to be that DDR4 cost 1.5x or more than DDR3 for the same capacity, while now we have (roughly) price parity. I wouldn't expect major drops to continue, but then I tend to be pessimistic about these things. RAM production is a low-margin business, so the only way prices will drop significantly is if production process improvements allow them to make the RAM cheaper. This happens step by step, but it's not a fast process.

Not likely anytime soon.

Here's a kit I regret I didn't buy back in April/May/June.

Then I'll (probably) wait until 2018. I was willing to assemble a Ryzen machine, but the truth is I don't really need a new PC.

Thank you guys.
