There's an ad in local paper for Philips 56KFlex with internal at $59.97 and external at $69.97. (Micro Center in Cambridge) Prices are getting lower for sure.

In the same flyer is an ad for a "PowerSpec" PC (never heard of them) but it's a Cyrix 166, with 16M, 1G HD, 12xCDrom, and 33K modem, Windows and Works - only $499 - monitor sold separately. (Drawback - only 1 expansion slot)

Prices are going down it seems.

Fujitsu Labs, Kyoto U Develop Device For 256G DRAM

OSAKA (Nikkei)-Kyoto University and Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd. have fabricated a prototype of the world's smallest transistor, the organizations announced Tuesday.

With 40 nanometer circuit widths, the transistor is designed to enable development of 256-gigabit memory chips, offering 4,000 times the storage capacity of the largest DRAMs (64-megabit chips) now in production.

Given the current pace of development, a 256G DRAM is forecast to be commercially available around 2012.

The 40 nanometer circuit width, offering about 10 times the density of present chips, was realized through a new technology that enables injection of a cluster of 10 boron atoms into a shallow layer very near to the surface of the silicon substrate. This cluster works as a semiconductor.

The national university and the research arm of Fujitsu Ltd. plan to develop by 2001 cluster ion injection equipment for chip fabrication in commercial volumes.
