Carrie,
PC133 is way cheaper than PC100 - it's the norm now and PC100 is almost end
of life as far as system building goes. Divide by about 1.45 to get pound
against USD prices.
Really anyone who wants or might need it should get it in their boxes now,
it will only get more expensive and harder to find as time goes on. Memory
is very much a commodity product and distributors are only holding stock on
fast moving, current, gear now - and hardly making a profit on that.
VAT = Value added tax - basically European sales tax, 17.5% in most of the
UK, this varies across other countries in the EU though.
