You've obviously been checking at Fry's but not at Sun.  They dropped
the price to $1500/meg at the June Usenix and it's been there ever since.
[Not that you'll find 256K rams on a Multibus Sun memory board...]

I heard there was a little South Bay company making third-party Sun
memory boards for cheaper.  Anybody know any more?
