We need like 3x the RAM to get the same value you were before.

Do you mean you need 3x the ram to run your pc than you did at some point in time?

Maybe not, anyway, this graph puts the current memory "crisis" in perspective for me:

		Nope. I currently have 64 GB which is about enough. I'd do 128 or more if it were cheaper. But a decent stick size is about 16 GB. If I could get 48GB for the price of a 16GB stick, that'd be reasonable. Then I could get 2 of those instead of 4 16s and not pay horrendously more.
