Gold Rush - when RAM was expensive and these Apple modules were like gold!

Throwback to the early 2000s, when RAM was expensive and these Apple modules were like gold! ✨💰💵 Back then, 128MB of RAM was considered high-end, and it would have cost a pretty penny. Today, you can get that amount of RAM for less than $20. 🫣✨

Purchase source: Apple’s official store generally charged more than third-party vendors or online retailers.
Here’s an estimate based on historical data:
2000:
128MB SDRAM: Around $200 - $300 for Apple-branded, potentially less at third-party vendors.
512MB SDRAM: Prices could range from $600 - $900, depending on factors mentioned above.
2001:
128MB SDRAM: Prices dropped considerably, likely around $100 - $150.
512MB DDR SDRAM: Still expensive, ranging from $300 - $500 depending on speed and source. 🧑‍💻🫣

What was the most RAM you had in your computer in the early 2000s?
