I guess this goes along with the Navy's $500 hammers :-)? I don't know where
you buy your memory, but we haven't paid a penny over $200 for 1MB SIMMs in
about a year, and that's without an educational discount (just a verbal
estimate that we'll buy 80MB a year).  
Try contacting Clearpoint Research Corporation in Hopkinton, Mass.

3.0MB has worked quite satisfactorily on all eleven of our NCD16s.
We run FrameMaker, several xterms, a paint program, xwatch, xclock,
xtools, twm, and a number of home-grown applications with memory
to spare.  For us, it's certainly the case that our screens get filled
with too many windows before we run out of 3.0MB memory.
