Memory prices here in Ohio are fairly cheap at the moment for PC100/PC133,
either speed 128 MB SDRAM costs about $80.00 and I notice it is even cheaper
on eBay, Heh, I saw not long ago, a 256 MB PC133 SDRAM for only $115.00
(That is cheap in my book considering 6 months ago it was anywhere from
$300.00 - $400.00 USD) <g>

Agreed! You let someone else assemble the system, who knows how long it
will last. Besides, if you buy the separate components and self assemble,
you can take a little bit longer to buy the system, but buy better equipment
as money permits and you do not need to upgrade everything including the
mouse pad if you do not want too <G>
