They just ran a 2-day ad for 4 Meg 1x32 60 ns EDO for $65 (albeit, good luck getting one of the likely 10 pieces per store) but the SIMMs contain DRAMs of mixed and sometimes unknown origin and there is either no warranty or a very limited one - maybe 30 days - though they do exchange any defectives. But alongside those they'll sell you a "name-branded" SIMM of the same type (Toshiba, maybe, or Sharp, etc.) for around $99 with a year warranty, a part with a 3 year warranty for maybe $130, and a lifetime warranty part (whatever that means - they'll likely to be thrown away as uselessly obsolete before they wear out) for somewhat more. (All figures approximate; I was really looking for 70ns non-EDO yesterday.) Point is: might be misleading to compare on price alone. Tom Truesdell atrue@garlic.com
