Currently on the tigerdirect.com web site, PNY Premium 256MB PC133/100
SDRAM 32x64 168 Pin Memory is $39.99, up from a low of about $30.  256 meg
of 266 MHz DDR memory is $80.99.  Both prices are absurdly low compared
with just a year ago, though not at their historic lows.  

Loading up with RAM is still the best investment you can make in improved
performance.
