Re: [MLUG] Price of Memory!!

["Ryan Thornton" <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

haha, yeah...
And I remember when one of my friends took a trip down to the Dallas
computer auction and called me to see if I wanted to pick up another 4mb of
memory for $20/mb... a really good price back then..

of course it was just early last fall semester I was paying $150 for
128mb...  maybe the built a few more memory fab places in asia?
