Man up here in Canada ... 128 top of the line SDRAM only costs about 75$... I'm thinking of just taking my CPU all the way up to 512 RAM.... Any-who... what's the cheapest RAM you've ever seen...

Speaking of low prices, what the hell's going on with Intel and AMD? I noticed (to my shock) that a P4 1.4 Ghz was going for $230, and a T-Bird 1.4 Ghz was going for $240! Since when was Intel cheaper than AMD?! Don't tell me I need to switch mainboards again :(
