I just ordered four 1 Meg 80ns SIMMs for the unbelievable price of $44! 
The total cost for the 4 Megabytes was $183, including shipping & handling.

I ordered from "The Chip Merchant" ad that I saw in the back of MacWeek
(1-800-426-6375). They do NOT accept credit cards--strictly COD. Sounded
kind of fishy, but a co-worker has used them several times and has been
satisfied. I'm saving about $100 from MacConnection prices.

I should be getting them today or tomorrow; I'll post to the net if 
they are deficient in any way.
