to be fair, your money isn't as good as VC money for RAM at the moment

Are Nvidia using ecc ram? If not this should mean it is less supply constrained than regular ram.
I'm open to being wrong, but so far as I understand it ECC mostly lives at the controller level and shares the same DRAM chips across all forms of server memory (including non-ecc), which is why we see price increases across all sectors including consumer.

Those DRAM chips being the bottleneck that would require hard to build new silicon fabs to increase supply.
