I should point out that memory prices are rapidly changing (as much as
20% up or down day to day for wholesalers), but at the current time, 8
meg 70ns is about $115-$130, with parity slightly more.  16 meg 70ns
SIMMs are $230-$270.  (Used memory going for slightly less.)

I haven't checked, but I doubt SERIOUSLY that a store like Best Buy is
selling 8 meg SIMMS for $100.  I would expect them to be selling 4
megs for about that much.  Companies like that can't keep up with the
quickly changing prices, and DRAM has dropped around 50% in the past
couple months.
