   Oh yes, these people are hurting quite badly; the DRAM industry as a whole
   might lose $10 billion this year because component prices are so ridiculously
   low.  Here is your big chance to finally get ahead of the curve for running
   Bill's swill (not to mention the next generation of 3D games; 128 Mbyte is
   recommended for "Unreal" to avoid swapping!).  Buy the 266 MHz CPU instead
   of the 300 and get extra memory with the difference.  The trend for memory
   usage is always upwards and in a year the prices might be a lot higher if
   the consolidation in the industry continues to pick up steam.
