I wondered about that. The best answer I was able to get is that
availability of RAM from the manufacturers fluctuates a lot, and there is
a surplus right now. Maybe the manufacturers expected Windows 95/NT to be
more popular and increase demand for memory. I'm sure happy with my 24MB
(total). The installation is easy. Just make sure to ground yourself and
your machine. I just leaned on my metal kitchen sink myself.
I purchased my 701CS about six weeks ago from Global Computer Systems,
and paid for 8MB to be pre-installed for $370. Luckily the 8MB SO-DIMMs
were out of stock. 8^>>>
Make sure PC Direct still has the 16MB SO-DIMMs in stock. I heard they
plan to continue the sale until May if supplies last.
