41264 64*4 video drams are made only by NEC, I believe.  Before the
memory shortage, I bought 8 for $45 from FRYE's Electronics in Silicon
Valley.  They will take mail orders.  FRYE's was MUCH cheaper than the
Chip merchants in BYTE/MacWeek, etc (Microprocessors Unlimited, for example).

These chips are trivial to install yourself, and you save 50% by
purchasing 8 of them yourself.  I bought 120ns parts, I think even
150ns parts will work (I'M NOT POSITIVE, check your video card to get
the suffix 41264-150 or 41264-120)
