The price of a 1 Meg x 8 100ns SIMM at Fry's Electronics in Sunnyvale
has been dropping steadily for about the last 2 months.  The price as
of yesterday is $299.  Faster and/or wider SIMMs are surprisingly more
expensive.  I have heard reports of SIMMs available for $250.  As far
as I know, Fry's SIMMs are surface mounted.  The DRAM shortage must be
easing at least a little.
