If you check out the NCA website you'll notice that the $58 price for 4 megs of memory is in the "basement" section, where you will find prices seemingly too good to be true. Peruse the rest of on-line store and you'll notice prices more in accord with other mail-order vendors. So, buyer beware. If something seems too good to be true, it probably is. Doug
