I second that. From memory pricing:
Xeon - CPU only - 800mgz or so: from 4k to 9k, depending on cache size
PIII CPU only - um, a 1gig or so is about 250$ each?
RAM: 256meg PC133 is about $80 dealer buy, I think..... and trust me, given
512meg of RAM, something like Delphi or JBuilder _FLYS_. Or both. At the
same time.
