I think used memory is often cheaper than new!

Also, 128mb modules are cheap because many people
are upgrading to bigger memory configurations that
require them to pull the smaller memory chips
out and replace them with the 512s in order to reach
maximum capacity.

Another memory carrier can run you $5000 or so, so it
may be cheaper to stick with the higher capacity memory.
Go look and see how many free pairs of slots you have in
your computer.

If you don't think you will use up all your slots,
this lower density stuff is certainly a less expensive way to go.

Huh ????.....  A few months ago we bought seven used HP
128 MB SIMMs for our 959 from a reputable dealer.  Granted
it was part of a bigger deal with additional disc and two more
CPUs;  whatever, at least in theory we ended up getting all seven
128 MB SIMMs for right around $1000;  $150 each....
