 I am not up on current US pricing of RAM but I know that the price is ALWAYS
lower then up here in Canada due to two reason. One, your dollar is worth
more then a Canadian dollar so the exchange rate has to be considered. Two,
there is a larger market in the US. With this information and knowledge of
the current price on 1Mx4 80ns ZIP SCRAM in Canada, I'd say RAM in the US
should be 4 meg for under $300 or approximately $70/meg.
