I just wnet to Fry's Electronics in L.A. and noticed that they were selling
"VRAMS" 64K*4 for .39 each ($0.39 - yes).  They were labeled on the shelf
as "4464 VRAMS", and were in ZIP packaging.

When I took it home, it was labeled 41C464, which according to one of my
memories' data book, is just an average DRAM.

Can anyone confirm this?

(BTW, at $0.39 a piece, I'm not particularly bothered that they aren't
 VRAM's, but I want to make sure because I'm designing a mini-video
 controller, and I can use either, but I need to know which.)
