How much longer should someone like I wait? > >Gordon Mohr >c60c-2am@web.berkeley.edu According to a report in MacWeek, 1-Mbit DRAM chips cost $9-$10 right now. MacWeek predicts that the price will continue to drop to about $3.50 in 1992. That means by 1992 a 1MEG SIMM would cost less than $35. They also say that the price of 1-Mbit DRAM chips will rise again in 1992 due to the transition to 4-Mbit DRAM chips. -- Saiid Paryavi Computer Science Dept.
