I can buy 16meg of memory for $10. This is in the mobo price. Sorry I didn't mention it.
Even if you want to add it that brings cost up to $297. Add another 16 meg and that's $307.
Now the profit margin is down to 23%. Still not too bad on a $400 Item. Add an OS and you might be at 20%...still pretty good. Certainly not Joeys 3-5%.
OS...I don't know exactly how to price that with the package deals MSFT sells. They might be getting a great deal on Win 95 now that Win 98 is out.
