PC memory is even cheaper ...

Look up 5200607 at frys.com -- DDR2 4GB PC6400 DUAL PATRIOT.  $90 for
2 2GB DDR2 DIMMS.  So I bought two sets, and now I have 8 GB of memory
for $180 plus tax.

frickin' crazy!  Still, since ECC only requires 12% more chips or so,
I wish they could offer ECC versions for 12% more ...
