	Atari, Commodore, and Apple can easily afford the additional costs
increased DRAM prices have brought because the machines usually do not come
with any more than a meg of ram.  On the other hand, SUN's and most
minicomputers come with larger amounts of ram and thus those companies do
not have the same option.  

	However, any third party RAM expansion for the microcomputers will
probably reflect any increase in pricing.
