From the Fry's Supermarket ad, San Jose Mercury News, 20 September 1985, page 23E. SCORCHING MEMORY PRICES AT FRY'S 64K RAM 150NS $0.49 256K RAM 150NS $2.69 That's $86 per megabyte, without parity. The industry rule of thumb is that the retail price of a card is 4x the component price. Allowing for the support chips, one should be paying about $400 for a megabyte RAM board. John Nagle
