Hey folks, I'm going to be upgrading a bunch of old Macs for a non-profit
company on the side, and use XPostFacto to get them running OS X.  The one
thing they really need that I can't find for a cheap price on ebay etc. is
RAM, and I was wondering if anyone had any sources for (or knows how to
reliably find on ebay) 128MB DIMMs that are 5v, either 16x64 60ns 4k
refresh (2k per bank) FPM or EDO.  3.3v is much more common stuff, but
these old Macs can't take that.  The few places online that do sell memory
like that charge $19 a stick, at which point I start thinking maybe I
should just look into buying old used Macs that just take more common
memory instead.  Any pointers would be appreciated!
