Lowest price in CA across retailers

Samsung DDR4-3200 ECC RDIMM 1x32GB price history in CA: current low CA$647.93, 12-month low CA$268.32, 12-month median CA$593.78.
Above typical — consider waiting — current price is 9% above the 3-month median.
Samsung's server memory shows up in this catalogue less as a headline brand than as the module living inside someone else's server, and this RDIMM listing fits that pattern: registered DDR4 built for multi-socket and high-capacity boards rather than a desktop tower.
The two listings differ only in how much they hold — 1×32GB — while both run the same rated 3200 MT/s CL22, so the timing question is already settled and capacity is the only real choice left.
This family is ECC and registered throughout, which means it needs a board and CPU built to address registered ECC memory; it will not fit a standard desktop socket.
Vengeance LPX earns its long shelf life through breadth and a low-profile heatspreader, not through any single standout spec — the timing bin on the specific listing is what actually decides whether a given kit is a good buy.
DDR5 doubled the bandwidth and moved power regulation onto the module. Whether that is worth paying for depends entirely on which platform you are building.
A dying memory generation does not get cheaper on its way out — it gets more expensive, because the economics of end-of-life manufacturing are the opposite of the economics of a maturing one.
16 GB is no longer comfortable, 32 GB is the sensible default, and 64 GB is a workload decision rather than a future-proofing one.
Capacity avoids stutter caused by running out of memory; speed affects how efficiently the CPU feeds data to the GPU. They solve different problems, and buying enough of the first one before spending on the second is the right order.
A 2x16GB kit sits at the highest-volume point on the memory market, and volume is what actually sets price per gigabyte — not capacity, and not how new a kit's specification is.
