Buy now. As the economy recovers prices will rise I think. They sell out
their overstock.. so they have to make more.. so more business goes on and
is work for more people but the prices aren't quite so nice. Still the
prices aren't that bad. I remember buying 4M of RAM a few years ago for
$200. :)

I don't suffer from insanity... I enjoy every minute of it.
