I probably have no business posting this followup, but there is so
much confusion re memory prices I can not sit still.

I just returned from the site you propose above. Their price page says
it is as of March-8th. On the 8th I was selling new guaranteed
non-parity SIMMs for $13.75 per MB. The price has gone up this week
and I'm currently posted at $16.25 per. According to this site when I
was at $55 for 4MB SIMM on the 8th, they were at $88!!

This simply does not make sense. If you feel they are lower than the
others you mention above, how high are the others?? and who are they?

since Venture's prices are as of 3/8 how can that be an indication
that RAM is coming down again?? it's now the 21st

Venture may be an excellent source for memory, there is no intention
here to say otherwise, but $22 per MB was not competetive on March 8th
any more than it is today!
