Re: [MLUG] CAS Latency question

[Jason McIntosh <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Well, found the difference.  here lately, it seems RAM prices are 
skyrocketing.  As a result, that cheaper memory which was about as fast 
is out of stock.  If it gets back in stock, I'd imagine it'll be much 
more expensive.  Anyone know why RAM all of a sudden costs a huge 
amount?  And yes, it's MUCH cheaper than it used to be (I remember when 
I had 4MB......I know, I know), but it's still gone up quite a bit here 
lately.
