>for $69)
The Chip Merchant's price for these SIMMs is $119 as of 17 July.
But they don't take creditcards for payment. (Also the guy that
I talked to wasn't the most friendly person in the world.)
I decided to go with TechnologyWorks in Austin (800-622-2210).
There, $129 buys you a 1MB 80nS SIMM made by Samsung with a
lifetime warrenty, a 30 day money back guarantee, and the option
to charge it to Visa (and maybe others, I didn't check). For no
extra charge, you get to talk to a friendly, courteous, and
knowledgeable salesperson. That alone is worth the extra $10.
(I like dealing with courteous people; your mileage may vary.)
