Some rag recently had a graph of past and projected RAM chip
prices -- MacWeek?   Based on that, you may expect SIMM prices
to drop gradually over the next 12 months.  The rate of drop
is supposed to be leveling off, and won't be as dramatic as
the last 6 months.  We may see $60 1Meg SIMMs in the next 6 months.
However, the price may start to increase after that, as chip
makers switch over to 4 megabit chips.
