6mb? That sounds strange

Doren, somehow 6 meg pc card sounds a little odd. It almost sounds like a special memory product, like a Sony memory stick. I was think of the sram L2 cache type of memory.

I went back and looked at pricewatch.com, but typed in 'cache' for the search term. I came up with a wide range of prices, which is not surprising since most systems produced in the last two years have non-user servicable L2 cache.

Anyway, here is the range I found:

$14 - $110/meg (generic PC pipeline burst cache - Newer PMac 1meg L2).

So:

128Mb RDRAM = $ 560
128Mb SDRAM = $ 64

therefore:

1Mb RDRAM = $4.38
1Mb SDRAM = $0.50
1Mb SRAM = $14-$110

Oh well...If they could bring the price of sram down, THAT would be truly revolutionary.
