We have found (much to our annoyance) that as time marches on, smaller memory chips start costing more then the larger chips and pretty soon cannot be purchased at any price. We recently doubled the memory capacity of an image processing board we produce, and the parts cost is *less* for the ram itself. Damn frustrating, because we had to do a new PC layout that we otherwise didn't need to do. (Labor and tooling costs. Yuck.)
PC memory modules seem to behave (price wise) differently. I have no idea why.
