  Prices in fact, are far less than even $600.  The Chip Merchant (advertises
in the back of MacWeek) is selling Mac 1Mb SIMMs for $39 last I saw...
  That makes 8Mb come out to less than $320, and that's in quantity 1 prices.
I imagine you could cut an easy 20-30% off this if you were putting in a 
10000 order or so.
