Usually I wait till Ican get to a computer show.  However, right now Staples
wants $19.99 for 128megs of PC133 PNY memory.  The cheapest on pricewatch is 
$20+shipping for generic, plus waiting several days for it to arrive, plus 
they only want people to pay by credit cards while Staples accepts cash.

In addition to the above reasons, I can easily return the ram to staples if for
some reason my P166mmx decides that it doesn't like PC133 ram (it takes PC100
just fine though, so PC133 should also work I would think).
