Crucial sell 64MB PowerMac DIMMs for 56.96 +tax. That's about $100 US
all counted. PowerMac RAM is excruciatingly hard to find here now too.

True, Velocity RAM is covered by a Lifetime warranty, I discovered, so
it's not as bad deal as it sounds.
Anyone over in the US know any RAM resellers that will ship to the UK? I
could start a small side line selling Power Macintosh DIMMs on eBay and
undercutting MacWarehouse and Crucial ;).
