Most likely, the ram manufacturers would appreciate the boycott, as that is more inventory they can supply to the bemouths of the industry. They don't need the average consumer at all in this case.
The only ones who would be directly hurt buy this are the retailers. (Who probably have little say or choice in the matter).

The reverse boycott of Hogwarts seemed to work. Though it cancelled out the intended actual boycott, so net zero?Has there ever been a successful gamer boycott?
Also, not sure if it counts as a boycott but the monster backlash to the Xbone reveal made MS walk all that shit back.

Right when I think gamers couldn't seem more stupid . . . hey they're selling our stuff to someone else for more money, lets boycott it . . . that way they can more easily sell it to someone else for more money.

This is exactly what they will do yes, DRAM is a commodity product. The same wafers can be used to make a consumer DRAM or an enterprise ECC DRAM or GDDR for GPU's. The DRAM manufacturers couldn't give less of a shit what specific DRAM's they make as long as it sells
