Skimming through the December 20th, 1994 issue of PC Magazine on Google Books I found an ad listing 64MB SIMMs for $2600 each. (Page 302.) It looks like at the time the going rate for 16MB was about $600. 128MB SIMMs may well have not existed yet, or at least may not have been widely available.My guess is 1000 Dollars.
I'm not sure I follow your math, there. According to a currency table I just googled up in 1995 1700DM was equal to about a thousand bucks, which means they paid about $500 for each 16MB SIMM. 128/16=8. 8*$500=$4000. (Or if you prefer, 128/32=4, 4x$1000... etc.).Simply by multiplication one might get to $ 1700 for 128MB, but then high capacity bricks had exponentially pricing.
Yes. And it always bothers me a little bit when people talk about how expensive some software that's downright cheap to get is. Faculty members complain to me on a regular basis about how expensive Office Home & Student is at $139. A quick glance at my favorite PDF ever, the 1993 Apple catalog, suggests that in 1993, Word 5.1 was $300 on its own.We are completely spoiled by how cheap computers are now, even premium machines like Apple's products.
Why is there a heatsink on your CPU? My '475 doesn't have one!Had to remove the heat sink for the CPU, and use another one.
I know I bought two 32 MB SIMMs in 1994 for about $500
