I guess you're right. I sort of remember from my first EE class that 1 byte = 8 bits (= 4? words.) Anyway, those numbers make sense. A 16-megabytes DRAM module costs me ~$40 (maybe lower) from COMPUSA. Micron reportedly sold 16-megabits chips for <$3 each. So, the raw material cost for a 16MB DRAM module is 8*$3 + green IC board... The same thing is true for 64MB DRAM.

James: You're correct of course. Multiply by four should have been in the equation. The point is that the dollars produced per PC in memory is dropping off the graph.
Best, Earlie
