Actually you can get 70ns 1 meg SIMMS assembled on good quality board with
                     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Gold contacts and traces can be bought for $50.00 a piece from MacTel (see 
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
advt. in MacWeek or MacWorld).  They accept Credit Cards and ship it by
Fed Exp. for $9.75 for a pound weight of package.  I order SIMMS from
them for our lab. and got them in a day.  

Earlier I had ordered 80 ns SIMMS from Chip Merchant for $49.00 a piece (paid
COD).  I had problems with two of them.  Basically the boards would not
fit well in the slots and thus making insufficient electrical contact.  I had
to return them and get replacements.  

The chips we got from MacTel were assembled on better material than the
ones from Chip Merchant.

Disclaimer:  I am just a satisfied customer of MacTel and a dissatisfied
customer of Chip Merchant.  I do not have any other affiliations with them.
