Perhaps 'cheaper' is relative to expectations. I've never bought less than 128MB DIMMs for the machines that can use them. Just a little while ago (~3yr) FPM cards were up to USD28 each, while EDO were USD15-20. At the moment, FPM (8500/9500) is not easily found at all, and EDO cards were under USD13 four days ago (from ramdirect).
