Have you actually CALLED any of these places?  The advertised prices are 
always lower than the actual price when it comes to SIMMs.  The cheapest
I found for SIMMs a couple of weeks ago was about $47 from Peripheral Outlet.
I'm sorry that I don't have their number with me.  Chip Merchant was just 
a little bit cheaper, but CM doesn't accept credit cards, and I'd have to
pay tax since they're in California.


BTW, SIMM (1megx8 80ns) prices are going up.  In January, I bought two megs
for around $84, and I bought two more megs a couple of weeks ago for $97,
including shipping, etcetera.  Both were bought from Peripheral Outlet because
they had the cheapest price.

I would recommend the Chip Merchant.  They didn't mind my American Express card
two months ago.
