Oh Death x 3

Oh Death
Oh Death
Oh Death
Won't you spare me over til another year

Well what is this that I can't see
Who's ice cold hands taking my PE
Well it must be Death none can excel
He put us on trial now I'm out of Dell

Whoa Death someone would pray
Could you wait til I empty my IRA
The shorts just laugh, the EEs preach
Time and mercy is out of my reach

I'll fix your Bus so you can't sell
I'll lock your price in red ink hell
Your eyes are blind so you can't see
The hour that you must go with me

I'm Death I come to get your IP
Dump the Bus make it Dead x 3
To strip the
FRAUD, the "elegant" designs
The lawyers and MU get the muxed up lines


Oh Death
Oh Death
Oh Death
Won't you spare me over til another year

My broker came to my bed
Placed a treasury bag over my head
My Bus is "hot" but my story is cold
Death is movin on up to my billfold

Oh Death how you're treatin me
Why close my eyes when I can't see
Well you're hurtin my stock you make me cry
You ruined my wife now I want to die

Oh Death please consider my age
Don't make me go work at this late stage
My former wealth is all at your command
If you'll jus remove your bollinger band

Ho! A standard, niche or grand
All alike to me go look under "demand"
No wealth no land no silver or gold
Nothin matters cause I got that "Desk" you sold


Oh Death x 3
Won't you spare me over til another year

Carl, you're using misleading price data.

Why do you only look at generic DDR modules in 256MB densities? Why do you lump all CAS-latencies of DDR but only select PC800 RDRAM? Here's a different take on the same data:

All PC2100 is not created equal-- the vast majority of the cheap stuff advertised on Pricewatch is generic, CAS-latency 2.5 or 3. You can find CAS-Latency (CL2) PC2100, but it's marketed as PC2400. And it costs more than RDRAM at every density (from pricewatch):

PC800 RDRAM, 128MB: $31*/$32**
PC2400 DDR, 128MB: $39*/$50**
Crucial PC2100 128MB: $49.49

PC800 RDRAM, 256MB: $65*/$68**
PC2400 DDR 256MB: $64*/$74**
Crucial PC2100 256MB: $96.29

*lowest entry
**average of all entries on first page.

I also included prices from Micron's crucial.com website, since they do a lot of business even though ALL micron DDR is slower CL2.5. And they include free shipping. You can cadd $10-12 for the pricewatch vendors, on average, for shipping.
