Nope, the 4 Mbit chips are selling for about 2X the price of the 1 Mbit
chips, in $/Mbyte.  The full production rates probably won't be reached
until sometime this fall.  Then the prices should drop dramatically (I
hope).  I think the best thing to do is get a 3000 now, then populate
the motherboard with 4 Mbit chips around Christmas-time.  Yeah, an 18-Meg
machine.  What a concept ;^).
