[comp.sys.amiga] RAM questions

I finally came to the decision that I would upgrade my 1000 rather
than save my pennies for the equivalent of a 2000 when I could 
actually afford one. 1.76 Mb of admittedly slow disk space is
livable, so I decide to get RAM. In AmigaWorld I find a couple
of good prices on the Spirit Technologies Inboard. Unfortunately,
the price is actually close to $800 for 1.5 Mb. Whoa, I thought
RAM was coming down in price, hence the advertised price was so low
'cos they have to  make copy 3 months in advance. 

So what happened to the price of RAM? I phoned around town and
can't get a quote for love nor even money. Can anyone say where
RAM prices are going and how soon?

Also, if anyone came give me a quick description of the various types
of RAM and their differences, ie 64K 256K 1 meg and so on, I'd appreciate
it. Seems to be something that's always taken for granted in all the
texts I've read.
