The New York Times today (1/2/87) reported the new "fair-market-value" price for 1 megabit RAM chips to be $13. (I believe this is a lowest price for large quantities) Since the old price was in the $22 range and one could buy single chips for under $40, perhaps we'll see them in the $20 range for small numbers soon. This would make the Levco Prodigy 4 look even more ridiculous than it actually is. The current FMV for 256k RAMs is in the $2.50 range for this quarter - this means that the megabits are very close to that magic 5x price. Will the next Macs show up with them?
