The RAM shortage is... a shortage. It's temporary by nature. RAM didn't suddenly get 4x more expensive to produce, it's just in high demand right now. Supply will eventually catch up even if it takes a few years.

I am wondering if this so true. What resources and time are needed to increase supply by N times to catch demand.

Or they'll just enjoy the high margins and not invest significantly more than they normally would in new production capacity.
