There's room for making more, but I don't think doubling makes sense from a profit point of view.

Especially because the demand curve that's skyrocketing right now is the RAM that isn't in long-term contracts. Doubling all production would much more than double the RAM available for normal purchases.

Is "down" here back to normal levels?

But normal levels are like a tenth of the profit margin. They'd make significantly less money doing that.
