I didn't see the first article. The 4MB price is *extremely* cheap,
compared to prices I saw just a few weeks ago. The 1MB price is a little
on the high side, unless for 80ns chips. Remeber that the $160 simms are not
surface mount, and that the $175 ones are SM but not assembled by the chip
makers. For that you still have to pay $180- $185

BTW, your numbers for the 256K's are WAY off, unless they're used. The
new ones are $50-70 for EACH 256KB simm.
