$20? That does not seem to correspond to current prices:
* PC100 SDRAM 512MB ab 80.50 EUR
* PC133 SDRAM 512MB ab 38.89 EUR
* PC266 DDRRAM 1GB ab 86.90 EUR
* PC266 DDRRAM 512MB ab 38.00 EUR
* PC333 DDRRAM 1GB ab 93.00 EUR
* PC333 DDRRAM 512MB ab 34.99 EUR
* PC400 DDRAM 512MB ab 32.58 EUR
* PC400 DDRRAM 1GB ab 84.00 EUR
* PC433 DDRAM 512MB ab 85.00 EUR
* PC433 DDRRAM 1GB ab 184.00 EUR
* PC466 DDRAM 512MB ab 56.92 EUR
* PC466 DDRRAM 1GB ab 116.88 EUR
* PC667 DDR2RAM 512MB ab 118.44 EUR
* PC800 RDRAM 1GB ab 570.00 EUR
* PC800 RDRAM 512MB ab 147.49 EUR
But where do I stick that gigabyte? All my memory slots are in use with
the current gigabyte. (And yes, this machine *does* swap:
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 1030916 978872 52044 0 301948 429344
-/+ buffers/cache: 247580 783336
Swap: 5123072 553404 4569668
)
That's while *not* bootstrapping. Bootstrap is *slow*.
