Last time I checked (a week or so ago), the price/megabyte of 4MB SIMMS was
actually a little less than the equivalent in 1MB SIMMS.  I suspect that
you will see the price of 1MB SIMMS rise a little more, and the price of
4MB SIMMS drop a lot, making them even less per megabyte.  Remember, when
the 4MB SIMM came out, they were in the $300 range (at least when I checked
price).  They are now under $200.00 a pop (read <$50.00/MB).  1MB SIMMS are
currently just about $50.00 each.
