   YOU'RE WRONG. 

 I just installed 4MEG of FAST RAM this morning on my A3000.
 
At $57/chip for the 1Mx4 static column ZIPS (bank of
8 to get 4MEG RAM) that's $110/MEG.  The 256x4 are even more per MEG
(8 x $15 for a MEG, or $120).

So, that plus an extra 50MEG of harddrive should about do it ...
