    i've had the C Ltd ram for a few months, and i've been very happy
with it.  don't believe the $550 price; i got mine for $430, and $450
is common.  if i were looking to get ram now, however, i would probably
get one of the small chassis units like the ASDG or Pacific Cypress.

    Micros Unlimited and IC Express are advertising 100ns 1Mb's for $40/ea;
that's about 10x the price of 256K's, for 4x the memory, or 2.5x premium
for reduced real estate/power requirements.
