I am not up on current US pricing of RAM but I know that the price is ALWAYS lower then up here in Canada due to two reason. One, your dollar is worth more then a Canadian dollar so the exchange rate has to be considered. Two, there is a larger market in the US. With this information and knowledge of the current price on 1Mx4 80ns ZIP SCRAM in Canada, I'd say RAM in the US should be 4 meg for under $300 or approximately $70/meg. >-- >-- >Dennis O'Connor, uunet!srg!titania!doconnor >non-representative. -- Darrell Grainger % Comspec Communications Inc., Toronto, Ontario, Canada darrell@comspec % Disclaimer: All opinions expressed are my own.
