Memory prices in freefall again
http://www.racesimcentral.net/
As soon as crucial start dropping the price again, I'm getting some more...
it sucks having only 256MB of very overclockable PC133 Cas2... It will run a
lot higher than the 140FSB it's at now, but my other stuff won't.

But of course it is. It had to, after all I got me a new system LAST
WEEK!
Screwed again. <sigh>

I'm happy if I can get another 256 of crucial for under 30.

Hah.... I remember upgrading my Old Olivetti to 2MB, doubling it's memory
and thinking... that'll do the trick... Luckily I got the Ram for free.

Seems like every computer I have bought since then has been "the last
computer I'll ever need."
Now I have more mem then that on my video card. :O)

I paid 150$ for my intel 14,400bps modem in '93, followed by $250 for my 512MB WDC hardrive a week later.
Also paid $200 for four sticks of 30 pin SIMMS....that's 4 MB! I was stylin' with my 486sx25!

In 1993 I paid $1000AU for a 1gig 5.5 IBM harddrive for my Amiga
I got the 1MB ram upgrade for mine for about 200. In fact I still have 2
Amigas sitting in the cupboard, complete with everything including scanner,
printer and a large box of software. It's sat next to an Atari ST 1040 with
monitor, scanner and large box of software... and that's sat next to an old
Amstrad 1640 PC, which also works and has Wordperfect still installed.
What can I say, I collect junk... one day it might be worth something.

Then a few years later, Intel got the price of ram down far enough that
another friend started the "Cent-a-byte" company -- reselling this ram to
hobbyists in small quantities for US$ 0.01 (one cent) per 8-bit byte.
