My feelings exactly.
RAM modules these days are large, plentiful and dirt cheap.
Unless anyone here is paying the $400.00 bucks a 128MB stick of EDO 72 pin RAM like it cost back in the day, I don't wanna hear no bitchin'. I have about 16 of those sticks myself. You can pry them from my cold dead fingers. I had the advantage of working as a tech in a mom and pop shop during the transition from 72-pin SIMMS to DIMMS. As such customers would trade in their older RAM modules for discounts on newer modules because they were faster. I was able to purchase them from my boss for a nice deal and I have had them ever since. A few died and were replaced either in conquests or e-bay deals.
I also have a cache of 32MB sticks because as we all know, the 128's don't work in a lot of machines.
If you ever search for wholesale lots, look for 72pin sticks. I bought a lot about 3 years ago with about 150 so sticks of various sized 72pin sticks. I'd say roughly 90% of them worked. The rest were turned into keychains and given away to friends.
