Unfortunatly, 1MB DRAM's don't seem to be available cheaply.  Take any
advertised prices you see with a grain of salt, as they are usually out
of date by what ever the publication's advertising lead time is, as much
as 1-4 months...

Best bet is to $CALL the places that either advertise only DRAM's or
that carry an extensive line of mail-order components, as these places
are often more on the ball than "we sell DRAM's for our PC clones" places.

The advertisements in the "Computer Shopper" offer a considerably shorter
lead-time than Byte or the other "glossies" and offer a larger playing field.
