I have 16 GB of RAM presently (2x8GB, DDR3-1600, the rest of the rig is in my sig), and I've found myself doing a lot of signal processing work in matlab recently that is consistently sucking down 10+ GB of RAM.
I can keep from paging too severely by being careful, but I was considering going up to 32 GB of RAM.
Every now and then I'm seeing 2x8GB sticks in the ~100 USD range from reputable manufacturers, are these prices likely to just trend increasingly higher in the future as memory manufacturers look for more profitable things to make (DDR4, mobile ram, etc)?
I'm tempted to just grab it soon when I know I can lock-in close to $100.
