I would like to know if there is a cheap source of memory for the
Compaq Professional Workstation 5000.  This workstation uses 64 MB
DIMMS that use 3.3V and ECC, EDO-buffered memory.  I don't quite
understand what the buffering adds, but even from third party memory
manufacturers this memory is more than twice as expensive as other
64MB EDO DIMMs.  Can someone help me understand why?
