Still though, Back in 1996 when I purchased a whopping 32MB for my IBM 486DX33 it was $250. Now I can get the good stuff from Crucial for my A7V http://www.crucial.com/store/PartSpecs.asp?imodule=CT32M64S4D7E for $95. And only 3 months ago it was $150. Free Shipping too! -Neill Saturday, March 24, 2001, 11:22:55 AM, Andrew Hornback wrote: ACH> And as for memory being cheap, as I found out yesterday when I ordered ACH> another stick for one of my workstations, the really cheap RAM is stuff ACH> specific to VIA chipsets.
