The price I have for adding 24MB to an 8MB system is $1081 per system.
This for HP memory for HP PC's. I doubt I could talk my finance people
into giving me a lump of cash to go to a "swapmeet". 

My local Egghead is selling 4MB simm's for $149, and 8MB for $249. 

It is nice to know that all of those simm's missing from corporate PC's
are finding a market though<g>.
